Catalysis on a Knife's Edge: Detailed Mechanistic Studies Reveal a Fine Balance Between Catalyst Deactivation and Productive Reactivity in CuH-Catalyzed Alkene Hydrofunctionalization.

Copper hydride catalyst systems have been widely applied to the hydrofunctionalization of unsaturated compounds, enabling the synthesis of a range of valuable organic products. In particular, copper catalysts supported by bulky bisphosphine ligands such as DTBM-SEGPHOS have enjoyed noteworthy success across a range of...
