Mechanistic studies reveal a new strategy for carbonyl-to-carbene conversion, indicating significant advancements in synthetic chemistry.
-rich products. Mechanistic studies reveal direct carbonyl activation rather than free radical intermediacy, with a concerted-asynchronous olefin addition pathway. These findings establish a general strategy for carbonyl-to-carbene conversion, expanding the scope of base-metal catalysis and providing a blueprint for redefining carbonyl activation in synthetic chemistry.
