A theory-driven synthesis of symmetric and unsymmetric 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane analogues via radical difunctionalization of ethylene

DPPEs are fundamental bidentate ligands with a C2-alkyl-linker chain for many transition-metal-catalyzed reactions. Here, authors utilize the AFIR method to develop a practical synthetic method for both symmetric and unsymmetric DPPEs with ethylene.
