This article describes the recent advances in the field of nickel-catalyzed hydroarylation
reaction of alkenes, alkynes, and arenes. All reactions proceeded either through internal …

Substituted arenes are ubiquitous in molecules with medicinal functions, making their
synthesis a critical consideration when designing synthetic routes. Regioselective C–H …

C− C bond forming reaction by alkylation of aryl rings is a main pillar of chemistry in the
production of broad portfolios of chemical products. The dominant mechanism proceeds via …

We report a lateral sodiation of alkyl (hetero) arenes using on‐demand generated hexane‐
soluble (2‐ethylhexyl) sodium (1) in the presence of TMEDA.(2‐Ethylhexyl) sodium (1) is …

On a large scale, the dominant method to produce alkyl arenes has been arene alkylation
from arenes and olefins using acid-based catalysis. The addition of arene C–H bonds …

Living coordinative chain transfer polymerization (LCCTP) of α-olefins, including propene, 1-
hexene, 1-decene, and 4-methyl-1-pentene, using the Hf pre-initiator 1, the borate co …

A recent advance in the synthesis of alkenylated arenes was the demonstration that the Pd
(OAc) 2 catalyst precursor gives> 95% selectivity toward styrene from ethylene and benzene …

We report a combined experimental and computational study focused on the mechanism of
oxidative conversion of benzene and ethylene to styrene using [(η2-C2H4) 2Rh (μ-OAc)] 2 …

An efficient protocol has been developed for the synthesis of larger condensed arenes from
aromatic hydrocarbons and internal alkynes. This protocol uses readily available [CpRhI 2] n …

The pyridone fragment in the ligand [2, 2'‐bipyridin]‐6 (1H)‐one (bipy‐6‐OH) enables the
oxidative Heck reaction of simple arenes with oxygen as the sole oxidant and no redox …
