Cobalt-electrocatalytic HAT for functionalization of unsaturated C--C bonds

摘要: The study and application of transition metal hydrides (TMHs) has been an active area of chemical research since the early 1960s, for energy storage, through the reduction of protons to generate hydrogen,, and for organic synthesis, for the functionalization of unsaturated C–C, C–O and C–N bonds,. In the former instance, electrochemical means for driving such reactivity has been common place since the 1950s but the use of stoichiometric exogenous organic-and metal-based reductants to harness the power of TMHs in synthetic …
