Direct difunctionalization of simple alkenes, the incorporation of two functional groups onto a carbon–carbon double bond, is of particular interest to the chemical community owing to its important applications in organic synthesis. Mechanistically, two types of reactions – metal‐catalyzed nucleophi...
