Cooperative Pd/Cu Catalysis for Alkene Arylboration: Opportunities for Divergent Reactivity
Stanna K. Dorn, M. Kevin Brown
Abstract
A preeminent challenge in alkene difunctionalization is the control of regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity. In this Perspective, a Pd/Cu-cooperative catalytic system for alkene arylboration is highlighted that allows for the controlled introduction of substituents. In particular, examples that allowed for divergent reactivity from a single substrate based on the tuning of catalysts and reaction conditions are emphasized.
