A syn-arylative nickelation followed by nucleophilic syn-selective cyclization of o-propargyloxy benzaldehydes is achieved toward the synthesis of chromanol skeletons with alkenyl substitution at C3. The capture of the intermediate vinyl nickel in its cis geometry is done also with a Michael acceptor to synthesize 4-alkylated derivatives. This protocol is equally applicable to o-propargylamino benzaldehydes to access 3,4-disubstituted tetrahydro-hydroquinolines.

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.

An isoreticular metal-organic framework (MOF) series was constructed from nickel or cobalt nodes, phosphonate monoester, and bipyridine linkers. The cobalt-containing MOFs were found to catalyze the dehydrogenative C-H borylation of alkenes under mild conditions. This process selectively generates vinyl boronate without the formation of alkyl boronate byproducts and is insensitive to air, enabling large-scale preparation of the target products with isolated yields of over 80%.

Compared with chiral β-amino phosphorus compounds, which can be easily derived from natural optically pure α-amino acids, obtaining chiral β-amino phosphorus derivatives remains a challenge. These derivatives, which cannot be derived from chiral natural amino acids, possess unique biological activities or potential catalytic activities. Herein, highly enantioselective hydrogenation for the preparation of chiral β-amino phosphorus derivatives from -β-enamido phosphorus compounds is reported by using a green and low-cost earth-abundant metal nickel catalyst (13 examples of 99% ee).

Metal-catalytic conversion of polysulfide reagents is a major challenge in organic synthesis due to its challenging activation modes of multiple S-S bonds. The utilization of aryl di- and trithiosulfonates in nickel-catalyzed reductive coupling with aryl halides has been unexplored. Herein, we unprecedentedly describe PPh and Zn-collaborative reduction-induced nickel-catalytic selective C-S coupling of aryl di/trithiosulfonates with aryl halides to access sulfides over common disulfides or trisulfides.
