Intermolecular selective carboacylation of alkenes via nickel-catalyzed reductive radical relay
Abstract
To date the carboacylation of alkenes has been reported only in single- and two-component methodologies. Here, the authors report a three-component nickel-catalyzed carboacylation of olefins which enables the rapid construction of ketones with high levels of complexity and diversity.
