Unlocking Chromium Decarboxylative Ligand-to-Metal Charge Transfer: Efficient and Redox-Neutral Allylation of Aldehydes Using Carboxylic Acids
Recently, Professor Alexander W. Schuppe’s team from Vanderbilt University reported in J. Am. Chem. Soc. the decarboxylative ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) reaction of photoinduced Cr (III) carboxylate complexes, applying it to the stereoselective Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi (NHK) allylation reaction. This method directly utilizes carboxylic acids without the need for external redox reagents, achieving good yields and high … Read more
