Hydrodimerization is an organic reaction that couples two alkenes to give a symmetrical hydrocarbon.
The reaction can also be induced with samarium diiodide, a one-electron reductant.
Hydrodimerization is the basis of the Monsanto adiponitrile synthesis:[1] The reaction applies to a number electrophilic alkenes (Michael acceptors).
