Modular, Stereocontrolled Cβ–H/Cα–C Activation of Alkyl Carboxylic Acids
The union of two {powerful|potent|effective|strong|highly effective} transformations, directed C–H activation and decarboxylative cross-coupling, for theenantioselective synthesis of vicinally functionalized alkyl, carbocyclic, and heterocyclic compounds is described. {Starting|Beginning} fromsimple carboxylic acid…
