I. Discovery and development of nickel-catalyzed 1,2-dicarbofunctionalization reactions of alkenes II. Synthesis and reactivity of nucleophilic calcium fluoride complexes with oxyg... by Apolinar, O

“…Additionally, we serendipitously discovered that sulfonamides are uniquely effective in directing 1,2- dicarbofunctionalization of unactivated alkenes including 1,2-disubstituted and trisubstituted alkenes. In light of these findings, we demonstrate an enantioselective variant which was plausible by tuning the steric bulk of the sulfonamide directing group and finding the adequate flexibility of a chiral N,N-ligand.…”
