title: Palladium-catalyzed hydroalkylation of styrenes with organozinc reagents to form carbon-carbon sp3-sp3 bonds under oxidative conditions.
abstract: An unconventional route for the formation of sp(3)-sp(3) C-C bonds from various styrenes and an organozinc reagent in a formal alkene hydroalkylation process is detailed. Mechanistically, this process is proposed to proceed by initial transmetalation followed by formation of a Pd-H species, which is subsequently trapped by the styrene.
