Insights into the Regioselectivity of Hydroheteroarylation of Allylbenzene with Pyridine Catalyzed by Ni/AlMe3 with N-Heterocyclic Carbene: The Concerted Hydrogen Transfer Mechanism

The hydroheteroarylation of allylbenzene with pyridine as catalyzed by Ni/AlMe3 and N-heterocyclic carbene ligand has recently been established. Density functional calculations revealed that the co...
