Abstract:
The combined ruthenium-catalyzed chain walking with the nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of ω-alkenyl ethers provide a unique entry to functionalized vinyl species. This transformation illustrates the power and flexibility of remote functionalization by demonstrating the compatibility of two independent reactions involving unrelated sites.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
