Nickel-Catalyzed Reductive Cross-Couplings: New Opportunities for Carbon–Carbon Bond Formations through Photochemistry and Electrochemistry

Abstract

Metal-catalyzed cross-electrophile couplings have become a valuable tool for carbon–carbon bond formation. This minireview provides a comprehensive overview of the recent developments in the topical field of cross-electrophile couplings, provides explanations of the current state-of-the-art, and highlights new opportunities arising in the emerging fields of photoredox catalysis and electrochemistry.
