Mechanism and Transition-State Structures for Nickel-Catalyzed Reductive Alkyne−Aldehyde Coupling Reactions

The mechanism of nickel-catalyzed reductive alkyne−aldehyde coupling reactions has been investigated using density functional theory. The preferred mechanism involves oxidative cyclization to form the nickeladihydrofuran intermediate followed by transmetalation and reductive elimination. The rate- a...
