Abstract

Discovery of new and refinement of existing synthetic methodologies are essential if chemistry is to adapt to the changes and consequent challenges in its application landscape.[1] These impediments can be represented in terms of substrate diversity, energy cost, ease-of-use or deployment.[2] In regard to organic synthesis this generally relies on the interplay and reactivity of functional groups. Carbon–carbon double bonds present a ...
