They are primarily used for the polymerization of styrenes and dienes. It is widely used to synthesize poly-olefins, styrenes, and substituted biphenyls. The Kumada-Corriu coupling gives access to [substituted] styrenes. Marotta went on to form The Styrenes, of which Morton was also an occasional member. Reductive Heck hydroarylation of styrenes was first reported by Torri and colleagues in 1985. The Electric Eels and Mirrors both broke up, and the Styrenes emerged from the fallout. In 2017, Liu and coworkers reported a copper-catalyzed three component carboamination reaction of styrenes. Cis-disubstituted alkenes and styrenes are asymmetrically epoxidized using a similar catalyst.
