41. The observed branched/linear selectivity difference between the styrene derivatives and aliphatic alkenes can be ascribed to the relative stability differences in the alkylcobalt intermediates (II in Scheme 1 vs. its linear alkylmetal counterpart). Because H/D scrambling was observed at both the α- and β-positions of styrene in Scheme 5, the hydrometallation step should be reversible, at least for styrenes. The reaction between styrenes and pyridines would proceed through the thermodynamically more stable π-conjugated benzylic-cobalt intermediate, whereas the reaction of aliphatic alkenes may proceed from the kinetically favored linear alkylcobalt intermediate.
