Supporting evidence — 5 representative gaps

• Chemo-divergent and regioselective branched cross-hydroalkenylation of electron-deficient olefins and vinylarenes directed by (NHC)Ni(II) catalysts (2026) · Nature Communications · doi

  Future research could focus on expanding the scope of the (NHC)Ni(II)-directed method to other substrates. The development of new NHC ligands with improved selectivity and activity could be an area of future research. The application of the method to the synthesis of complex molecules with multiple functional groups could be explored.

• Chemo-divergent and regioselective branched cross-hydroalkenylation of electron-deficient olefins and vinylarenes directed by (NHC)Ni(II) catalysts (2026) · Nature Communications · doi

  The paper does not discuss the potential limitations of the (NHC)Ni(II)-directed method. The scope of the reaction is limited to acrylates and vinylarenes. The use of bulky and symmetric NHCs (L1-L5) may not be suitable for all substrates.
