Abstract

Hydrometallation of alkenes and alkynes provides a straightforward route to access alkyl- or alkenyl-metal reagents, which have a wide range of applications in organic transformations. In recent years, the first row transition metals (such as copper, nickel, cobalt, iron, etc.) have emerged high activity and selectivity in this area with the aid of a variety of ligands. This review covers the recent advances in the hydrometallation of minimally functionalized unsaturated C—C bonds (including alkenes, alkynes, dienes, allenes, enynes, etc.), as well as transformations involving catalytic hydrometallation process via the first row transition metal catalysis.
