Diboron-Enabled Nickel-Catalyzed Intermolecular Reductive Coupling of Styrenes With Aldehydes.
The direct reductive coupling of alkenes with aldehydes offers an attractive alternative to conventional carbonyl addition using preformed organometallic reagents, yet intermolecular coupling of simple alkenes remains challenging. In this study, we report a diboron-enabled nickel-catalyzed reductive coupling of styrene...
