Transition metal –catalyzed alkyl-alkyl bond formation: Another dimension in cross-coupling chemistry

Transition metal –catalyzed alkyl-alkyl bond formation: Another dimension in cross-coupling chemistryByJunwon Choi,Gregory C. FuScience  14 Apr 2017: Vol. 356, Issue 6334, eaaf7230 DOI: 10.1126/science.aaf7230Choi and Fu review recent developments in forming bonds between the more abundant alkyl carbon centers that underlie diverse molecules with complex three-dimensional structures. Nickel catalysis in particular has emerged as a powerful method to access individual mirror-image isomers selectively and thereby tune the biological properties of the targeted products.
