The nickel-catalyzed enantioselective addition of allylboronic acid pinacol ester, allylB(pin), is described. This reaction is highly effective with dialkylidene ketones and favors the allylation of the benzylidene site in nonsymmetric substrates. The reaction appears to proceed by conversion of the dialkylidene ketone substrate to an unsaturated pi-allyl complex (I), followed by reductive elimination. Enantioselectivities range from 91 to 94% ee for a range of substrates when chiral ligand 14 is employed.

Divergent synthesis of valuable molecules through common starting materials and metal catalysis represents a longstanding challenge and a significant research goal. We here describe chemodivergent, highly enantio- and regioselective nickel-catalyzed reductive and dehydrogenative coupling reactions of alkynes, aldehydes, and silanes. A single chiral Ni-based catalyst is leveraged to directly prepare three distinct enantioenriched products (silyl-protected trisubstituted chiral allylic alcohols, oxasilacyclopentenes, and silicon-stereogenic oxasilacyclopentenes) in a single chemical operation.

The first Ni-catalyzed asymmetric decarboxylative strategy for the construction of carbocycles with contiguous quaternary all-carbon stereocenters is reported. The key to the success of these reactions is the utilization of rationally designed allenylic methylene cyclic carbonates as substrates with Ni catalysis. The floppy allenylic group exerts unique electronic properties on the carbonate, which allows further asymmetric nucleophilic annulations with alkenes.

Herein we successfully utilize various directing groups to achieve a ligand-enabled nickel-catalyzed 1,2-borylalkylation of unactivated alkenes. A β-amino alcohol was employed as the ligand for non-asymmetric 1,2-borylalkylation of unactivated alkenes, while a bulky chiral diamine ligand was used to achieve the asymmetric 1,2-borylalkylation of allyl amides.

Enantioenriched unsymmetric dialkyl carbinol derivatives are of importance in natural products, bioactive molecules, and functional organic materials. However, the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of dialkyl carbinol derivatives remains challenging due to the similar steric and electronic properties of two alkyl substituents. Herein, an unprecedented synthesis of chiral dialkyl carbinol ester derivatives from Ni-catalyzed reductive-oxidative relay cross-coupling of two alkenes is developed for the first time.

α-Aryl imides are common structural motifs in bioactive molecules and proteolysis-targeting chimeras designed for targeted protein degradation. An asymmetric Ni-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling of imide electrophiles and (hetero)aryl halides has been developed to synthesize enantioenriched α-arylglutarimides from simple starting materials. Judicious selection of electrophile pairs allows for coupling of both electron-rich and electron-deficient (hetero)aryl halides in good yields and enantioselectivities.
