Abstract Unactivated olefins rank amongst the most important feedstocks in organic synthesis. Their availability makes them particularly useful synthons for subsequent functionalization, a catalytic manner. Driven by popularity ascribed nickel catalysis as new tool to rapidly forge molecular architectures via one‐or two‐electron manifolds, recent years have witnessed significant advances Ni‐catalyzed olefin difunctionalization. While 1,2‐difunctionalization or remote functionalization “chain‐walk” become mature disciplines repurposing potential of building blocks, it was only recently that extensions this chemistry 1,1‐difunctionalization been possible. This review summarizes 1,1‐difunctionalization, holding considerable promise powerful strategy our ever‐growing synthetic repertoire.

We report for the first time a photoinduced domino 1,1-dicarboxylation of alkynes synthesis malonic acid derivatives using cesium formate solution (80% w/w in water), which is different from previous 1,2-dicarboxylation methods that usually produce succinic acids. Cesium malonate precipitated directly diluted reaction mixture and was collected by filtration without further purification. Interestingly, solid with additional water led to mono-carboxylation product. The solubility alkaline environment are two key factors contributing outcome. A series acids, propionic acids drug intermediates were synthesized good yields. Mechanism experiments DFT calculations indicate formed through α-selective addition CO2 •- cinnamate intermediate. This method enables direct preparation water-soluble carboxylate-functionalized molecules polymers hydrophobic alkyne-containing precursors, showing potential usability photolithography semiconductor manufacturing.
