Nickel-catalyzed allylic carbonylative coupling of alkyl zinc reagents with tert-butyl isocyanide

In contrast to the well-established palladium-catalyzed version, the nickel-catalyzed carbonylative coupling is underdeveloped. Here the authors report a nickel-catalyzed allylic carbonylative coupling with alkyl zinc reagents, allowing for preparation of β,γ-unsaturated ketones in a linear-selectiv...

Description
Summary:In contrast to the well-established palladium-catalyzed version, the nickel-catalyzed carbonylative coupling is underdeveloped. Here the authors report a nickel-catalyzed allylic carbonylative coupling with alkyl zinc reagents, allowing for preparation of β,γ-unsaturated ketones in a linear-selective fashion.
