“…In this context, the choice of the transition metal is paramount. Cobalt, being one of the most promising earth-abundant transition metals, has been successfully employed in catalytic alkene hydrofunctionalization reactions owing to its unique characteristics and prominent catalytic properties. ,,− ,,,− In this work, we utilized unsaturated nitrogen heterocyclic olefins with a weak directing group as substrates, and the reaction was catalyzed by a system based on cobalt catalysts and chiral bisoxazoline ligands. This strategic approach effectively prevents β-H elimination due to the introduction of a cobalt catalyst.…”
