Abstract

A Ni-catalyzed asymmetric reductive cross-coupling between vinyl bromides and benzyl chlorides provides direct access to enantioenriched products bearing aryl-substituted tertiary allylic stereogenic centers from simple, stable starting materials. A broad substrate scope can be converted under mild reaction conditions without pregeneration of organometallic reagents and the regioselectivity issues commonly associated with allylic arylation.
