Our first foray into heavier group 2 chemistry, and the first paper from @maltekubisz.bsky.social 🥳 in @chemcomm.rsc.org 🧪
We show that carbon monoxide readily inserts into Mg-C bonds without need for a catalyst, opening new paths in catalysis using CO⚡️

We describe the catalyst-free Insertion of carbon monoxide (CO) into magnesium alkyl bonds, leading exclusively to enediolate compounds through C–C coupling. Computational investigations suggest a met...
