Abstract
A dimeric Ni(I) catalyst and an exogenous alkoxide base promote Markovnikov-selective hydroarylation (alkenylation) of unactivated and activated olefins using organo bromides or triflates derived from widely available phenols and ketones. Products bearing aryl- and alkenyl-substituted tertiary and quaternary centers could be isolated in very good yield and excellent regioisomeric ratios.
