Metal-Catalyzed Remote Functionalization of ω-Ene Unsaturated Ethers: Towards Functionalized Vinyl Species.

The combined ruthenium-catalyzed chain walking with the nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of ω-alkenyl ethers provide a unique entry to functionalized vinyl species. This transformation illustrates the power and flexibility of remote functionalization by demonstrating the compatibility of two independent reactions involving unrelated sites.
