With the optimised reaction conditions in hand, the scope of the reaction with respect to the olefin was systematically investigated to both assess the generality of the transformation and to discover the limits of reactivity (Table ). As well as the simple hydrocarbon 1-hexene (3b), propene gas could also be employed under the same reaction conditions to access 3c in 38% yield. Additionally, functional groups such as primary halides (3d-e), terminal alkynes (3f), ketones (3g), ethers (3h), esters (3i), internal alkynes (3j), thiophenes (3k) sulfones (3l), quinolines (3m), phthalimides (3n) and amino acid derivatives (3o) were all compatible with the transformation and provided a single regioisomer of the desired products.
