Nature Communications, Published online: 02 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-72546-x Alkene 1,1- difunctionalization holds significant importance in organic synthesis due to its ability to effectively enhance the complexity and functionality of molecular frameworks. Here, the authors report an electrochemical strategy for 1,1-difunctionalization of halogenated aromatics with unactivated alkenes, using synergistic Fe/Ni catalysis.
