Regioselective 1,2-carbosulfenylation of unactivated alkenes<i>via</i>directed nickel catalysis

Abstract

A removable bidentate picolinamide assisted regioselective 1,2-carbosulfenylation of unactivated alkenes with aryl/alkenylboronic acids and disulfide electrophiles has been developed with a cost-effective and air-stable Ni( ii ) precatalyst.
