Organometallic Reactions Part 4: Migratory Insertions 

We've covered a few different types of organometallic reactions, so let's hit another. With migratory insertions, when two particular kinds of ligands are cis to one another, one can insert itself into the other metal-ligand bond. Reactions like hydrometalation and carbometalation qualify as migratory insertions. How does this work mechanistically and what types of ligands will do this? Let's find out!
