Taming Multifaceted Nickel Catalysts: An Academic Fascination
The recent years have witnessed a renaissance in the general area of Ni-catalyzed reactions. The popularity of these processes is mainly attributed to the unique features of nickel when compared to its d10 congeners, and the promiscuity of nickel to participate in multiple redox manifolds.[1] Our research group has reports some progress directed towards the utilization of feedstock materials en route to added-value building blocks by means of Ni-catalyzed transformations. Among these, we have shown the ability for incorporating carbon dioxide (CO2) into organic matter or catalytic techniques that make use of simple (un)saturated hydrocarbons or native functionality to build up molecular complexity from simple precursors without losing sight their mechanistic considerations, when appropriate.[2] These methods are characterized by their simplicity, wide scope, including challenging substrate combinations with particularly sensitive functional groups and a diverse set of substitution patterns.
