Abstract
The synergistic merger of photoredox and nickel catalysis enables a decarboxylative cross-coupling of alkyl carboxylic acids with vinyl halides. Various α-oxy and α-amino acids, as well as simple hydrocarbon-substituted acids and a broad range of vinyl iodides and bromides can be converted to vinylation products in high efficiency under mild, operationally simple reaction conditions.
