Our group has developed a series of catalytic additions to alkenes and has identified complexes that react with alkenes by insertion into metal-oxygen and metal-nitrogen bonds. This lecture will include recent results on catalytic additions of N-H, O-H and C-H bonds to alkenes, along with mechanistic data to explain the rates and selectivities of these reactions. Information on isolated complexes, catalyst resting states, and kinetic behavior will be presented.
