Advancements in Catalysis for Controlling Chemical Reactions.

Researchers have developed a unified and practical method for carbon-heteroatom cross-coupling using nickel/photo dual catalysis. The method involves the use of adaptive dynamic homogeneous catalysis, which allows for the acceleration of reaction generality and mechanistic insight through additive mapping. The team also used machine learning to predict reaction performance in C-N cross-coupling. The method has potential applications in drug design and medicinal chemistry.
