title: Decarboxylative Alkyl-Alkyl Cross-Coupling Reactions.
abstract: Alkyl with alkyl: A significant development in alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling reactions, namely the nickel-catalyzed decarboxylative Negishi coupling of N-hydroxyphthalimide esters, was recently reported by Baran and co-workers. This method enables the synthesis of various highly functionalized compounds, including natural product derivatives.
