Origin of Regiochemical Control in Rh(III)/Rh(V)-CatalyzedReactions of Unsaturated Oximes and Alkenes to Form Pyrdines
TL;DR: Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reported here reveal the detailed mechanism and origins of selectivity in this reaction, which was found to be more favorable than the previously proposed Rh(III)/Rh(V/Rh(I) catalytic cycle.
