HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Georgia M. Richardson from the SchoolVictoria University have published the Article: Hydroarylation of olefins catalysed by a dimeric ytterbium(II) alkyl, in the Journal: NATURE COMMUNICATIONS NATURE COMMUNICATIONS of 15/Nov/2020
- what: More generally, this study shows that sufficiently nucleophilic lanthanide alkyls have the broader potential to catalyse the hydroarylation of unactivated olefins with arene C-H bonds to provide the linear alkylated arene products.
SUMMARY
Under select conditions, the ytterbium(II) hydride mediates the exclusively selective, catalytic anti-Markovnikov hydrophenylation of ethene and propene. The reaction of the . . .
