ConspectusTransition-metal-catalyzed reductive coupling of electrophiles has emerged as a powerful tool for the construction molecules. While major achievements have been made in field cross-couplings between organic halides and pseudohalides, an increasing number reports demonstrates reactions involving more readily available, low-cost, stable, but unreactive electrophiles.

ConspectusThe use of quaternary stereocenters during lead candidate optimization continues to grow because improved physiochemical and pharmacokinetic profiles compounds with higher sp3 fraction. Pd-catalyzed redox-neutral alkene difunctionalization involving carbopalladation alkenes followed by nucleophilic-trapping σ-alkyl-palladium intermediates has been developed as an efficient method construct stereocenters. However, the low chemoselectivity air sensitivity organometallic nucleophiles, well their availability accessibility, limit scope application this elegant strategy. Recently, Ni-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling evolved into a privileged strategy easily valuable C(sp3)-C bonds. Despite great progress, enantioselective coupling C(sp3) electrophiles still relies on activated or functionalized alkyl precursors, which are often unstable require multiple steps prepare.
