Abstract

A cobalt-catalyzed regioselective olefin isomerization reaction with fine-tunable NNP-pincer ligand structures features high kinetic control of regioselectivity. This mild catalytic system enables the isomerization of 1,1-disubstituted olefins bearing a wide range of functional groups in excellent yields and regioselectivity.
