An efficient and convenient procedure that generates the active Ni(0) catalyst in situ from cheap, air stable Ni(II) precursors is developed for the [4 + 2]-cycloaddition of alkynes and 3-azetidinones. The reaction affords useful 3-dehydropiperidinones in comparable yields to the reported Ni(0) procedure. Additionally, the cycloaddition with 3-oxetanone afforded the 3-dehydropyranone product. Chiral 2-substituted azetidinones were also tolerated to form substituted dehydropiperidinones in high yield and enantiomeric excess.

A Ni-catalyzed (4 + 2) cycloaddition of bicyclic 3-azetidinones and alkynes was developed to access indolizidine and quinolizidine alkaloids. A key element was the development of a diazomethylation procedure that allows the efficient synthesis of bicyclic azetidinones from pyroglutamic and 6-oxopiperidine-2-carboxylic acid. A ligand screening led to improved regioselectivity and enantiopurity during the Ni-catalyzed (4 + 2) cycloaddition.

In the presence of a nickel catalyst, the intermolecular (4+2) cycloaddition of potassium alkynyltrifluoroborates with 3-azetidinones and 3-oxetanone leads to the formation of borylated dihydropyridinones and dihydropyranones without unwanted carbon-boron bond cleavage. The regioselectivity is influenced only by the trifluoroborate group, and only one regioisomer is obtained, whether the other alkyne substituent is an alkyl, vinyl, or (hetero)aryl group.

The poor regioselectivity of the [4 + 2] cycloaddition of 3-azetidinones with internal alkynes bearing two alkyl substituents via nickel-catalyzed carbon-carbon activation is addressed using 1,3-enynes as substrates. The judicious choice of substitution on the enyne enables complementary access to each regioisomer of 3-hydroxy-4,5-alkyl-substituted pyridines, which are important building blocks in medicinal chemistry endeavors.

Transition-metal catalysis has revolutionized the field of organic synthesis by facilitating the construction of complex organic molecules in a highly efficient manner. Although these catalysts are typically based on precious metals, researchers have made great strides in discovering new base metal catalysts over the past decade. This Account describes our efforts in this area and details the development of versatile Ni complexes that catalyze a variety of cycloaddition reactions to afford interesting carbocycles and heterocycles.
