title: Alkene carboboration enabled by synergistic catalysis.
abstract: A synergistic Pd/Cu system for the coupling of alkenes, (Bpin)2 (pin = pinacolate), and aryl/vinyl bromides is disclosed. This method allows for the catalytic generation of secondary Csp(3)-Cu nucleophiles in situ and subsequent Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling.
