Abstract
An operationally simple, atom-economical, and efficient cobalt-catalyzed migrational isomerization of styrenes provides trisubstituted alkenes. Even with very low catalyst loadings, the reaction could be conducted in neat and completed in 1 h with excellent conversion and high E stereoselectivity.
