Abstract
We recently discovered a functional group tolerant and transition-metal-free conjunctive olefination reaction with applications in late-stage functionalization chemistry. In this Synpacts contribution, we analyze the conceptual background that has stimulated the discovery of this reactivity and reflect on the key aspects of its development.
