    Ni-catalyzed benzylic β-C(sp3)–H bond activation of formamides

    The development of transition metal-catalyzed β-C–H bond activation via highly-strained 4-membered metallacycles has been a formidable task. So far, only scarce examples have been reported to undergo β-C–H bond a...

    Construction 7-membered ring via Ni–Al bimetal-enabled C–H cyclization for synthesis of tricyclic imidazoles

    The construction of 7-membered ring via direct C7–H cyclization of benzoimidazoles with alkenes would provide a more atom- and step-economical route to tricyclic imidazoles and derivatives that widely exist in...
