Electronic properties of alkenes and e.e Organoboron products were in most instances obtained in ≥55% yield and ≥90% e.e. (Table 1; for additional examples see Supplementary Section 6).

Alkene Oligomerization A major advance in alkene oligomerization catalysis was Brookhart’s 1995 report of highly active group 10 metal diimine systems. In contrast to nickel and palladium catalysts, ...

Chemists have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes.
