Elementary Steps in Olefin Metathesis: Nickelacyclobutanes via Cycloaddition to Nickel Carbenes
Olefin metathesis and cyclopropanation, major reactions in the synthetic toolbox, are predominantly catalyzed by platinum-group metals. First-row transition metal alternatives are desirable from the p...
