A critically important process in catalysis is the formation of an active catalyst from the
combination of a metal precursor and a ligand, as the efficacy of this reaction governs the …

Transition-metal catalyzed allylic substitution reaction is an important approach for
constructing carbon-carbon bond and carbon-heteroatom bond. Due to its cheapness, easy …

Controlling the selectivity in cross-electrophile coupling reactions is a significant challenge,
particularly when one electrophile is much more reactive. We report a general and practical …

An efficient Ni-catalyzed reductive carboxylation of allylic alcohols with CO2 has been
successfully developed, providing linear β, γ-unsaturated carboxylic acids as the sole …

An additive‐free nickel‐catalyzed α‐allylation of aldehydes with allyl alcohol is reported. The
reaction is promoted by 1 mol% of in situ formed nickel complex in methanol, and water is …

Enantioselective auto‐tandem catalysis represents a challenging yet highlight attractive
topic in the field of asymmetric catalysis. In this context, we describe a dual catalytic cycle …

Nickel complexes bearing chiral diphosphine ligands, such as (S)-Tol-MeO-BIPHEP and (S)-
H 8-BINAP, serve as efficient catalysts for asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) of β-ketoesters …

Here, we report a regiodivergent cyanation of allylic alcohols under nickel catalysis. With a
delicate control over the regioselectivity of allylic cyanation, more challenging branched …

Abstract α‐carbonyl homoallylic alcohols have been synthesized in a one‐pot reaction from
benzaldehyde and allylic alcohols. The nickel‐catalyzed allylation of α‐hydroxyketones has …

The electronic nature of Ni π‐complexes is underexplored even though these complexes
have been widely postulated as intermediates in organometallic chemistry. Herein, the …
