Abstract

In this issue of Chem Catalysis, Zhang and co-workers report a nickel-catalyzed asymmetric dicarbofunctionalization of alkynes, providing rapid access to axially chiral styrenes. This process features a broad substrate scope and useful product application. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations provided useful insights into the mechanism. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
