Over the past decades, reactions involving CH functionalization have become a hot theme in organic transformations because they have a lot of potential for the streamlined synthesis of complex molecules....
Olefins are low-cost starting materials that may be obtained in bulk quantities from petrochemical feedstocks and renewable resources. The transition metal-catalyzed unactivated olefin functionalization is well explored and received an extensive interest from synthetic chemists. In recent times, chemists have successfully employed different transition metals for the functionalization of unactivated olefins. Among the different transition metals that have been used, cobalt catalysts have received great attention from synthetic chemists for CÀ H functionalization reactions, owing to their ready availability and high reactivity. Herein, we discuss the most recent reports in the field of cobaltcatalyzed functionalization of unactivated olefins that enable CÀ C, CÀ X and CÀ hetero bond formation and covers the literature from 2016 to 2021.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
