Metal-catalyzed reductive coupling processes have emerged as a powerful methodology for the introduction of molecular complexity from simple starting materials. These methods allow for an orthogonal approach to that of redox-neutral strategies for the formation of C–C bonds by enabling cross-coupling of starting materials not applicable to redox-neutral chemistry. This short review summarizes the most recent developments in the area of metal-catalyzed reductive coupling utilizing catalyst turnover by a stoichiometric reductant that becomes incorporated in the final product.1 Introduction2 Ni Catalysis3 Cu Catalysis4 Ru, Rh, and Ir Catalysis4.1 Alkenes4.2 1,3-Dienes4.3 Allenes4.4 Alkynes4.5 Enynes5 Fe, Co, and Mn Catalysis6 Conclusion and Outlook

We demonstrate that formic acid mediates the Rh-catalyzed, Z-selective coupling of dienes and aldehydes. The process is distinguished by broad tolerance towards reducible or electrophilic groups. Kinetic analysis suggests that generation of the catalytically active Rh-intermediate by ligand dissociation is the rate determining step. The rapid generation and trapping of Rh-allyl intermediates is key to preventing chain-walking isomerization events that plague related protocols. Insights gained through this study may have wider implications in selective metal-catalyzed hydrofunctionalization reactions.<br>

The mechanism studies of transition-metal-catalyzed reductive coupling reactions investigated using Density Functional Theory calculations in the recent ten years have been reviewed. This review introduces the computational mechanism studies of Ni-, Pd-, Cu- and some other metals (Rh, Ti and Zr)-catalyzed reductive coupling reactions and presents the methodology used in these computational mechanism studies. The mechanisms of the transition- metal-catalyzed reductive coupling reactions normally include three main steps: oxidative addition; transmetalation; and reductive elimination or four main steps: the first oxidative addition; reduction; the second oxidative addition; and reductive elimination. The ratelimiting step is most likely the final reductive elimination step in the whole mechanism. Currently, the B3LYP method used in DFT calculations is the most popular choice in the structural geometry optimizations and the M06 method is often used to carry out single-point calculations to refine the energy values. We hope that this review will stimulate more and more experimental and computational combinations and the computational chemistry will significantly contribute to the development of future organic synthesis reactions.
