Radical Alkylation and Protonation Induced anti-Markovnikov Hydroalkylation of Unactivated Olefins via Cobalt Catalysis Although constant strategies of olefin hydroalkylations are emerged rapidly, the precise control of the regio- or chemoselectivity and the expansion of the reaction range are still under challenge. Herein, a straight way of cobalt catalyzed anti-Markovnikov hydroalkylation of unactivated olefins with alkyl iodides has been achieved.
