The Past
◽
Metal hydride-catalyzed remote hydrofunctionalization has attracted extensive attention in the past decade, as it provides a complementary approach for selective functionalization of remote C(sp3)–H bonds. Recently, a wide variety of olefinic remote hydrofunctionalizationation reactions have been realized through the synergistic combination of NiH-catalyzed chain-walking and Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling. In this personal account we discuss our recent achievement in the remote hydroarylation of olefins as well as our recent achievement in asymmetric hydroarylation.
