Advancements in the selective transformation of olefins to new C–C bonds through cooperative catalysis involving electrochemistry and transition metals

Abstract

This article aims to comprehensively review the research progress in the selective C–C bond formation of olefins through the synergistic action of electrochemistry and transition metal catalysis in recent years, particularly since 2018. Specifically, we will focus on how the combined catalysis of electrochemistry and transition metals achieves precise control over chemical, stereoselective, and regioselective outcomes, and delve deeply into the underlying reaction mechanisms. By summarizing key scientific discoveries and technological breakthroughs, this article aims to provide a reference guide for researchers in related fields and offer insights into future trends and potential applications in this domain.
