Mechanistic approaches to palladium-catalyzed alkene difunctionalization reactions

Katrina H. Jensen and Matthew S. Sigman


Alkene difunctionalization, the addition of two functional groups across a double bond, exemplifies a class of reactions with significant synthetic potential. This emerging area examines recent developments of palladium-catalyzed difunctionalization reactions, with a focus on mechanistic strategies that allow for functionalization of a common palladium alkyl intermediate.
