Hydroarylation of olefins catalysed by a dimeric ytterbium(II) alkyl

Nucleophilic alkylation of aromatics with main group reagents was achieved, but it is limited to a stoichiometric regime. Here, the authors report that the ytterbium(II) hydride reacts with ethene and propene to afford ytterbium(II) n-alkyls, both of which can facilitate the catalytic alkylation of...
