Enantioselective nickel-catalyzed anti-carbometallative cyclizations of alkynyl electrophiles enabled by reversible alkenylnickel E/Z isomerization

Nickel-catalyzed additions of arylboronic acids to alkynes, followed by enantioselective cyclizations of the alkenylnickel species onto tethered ketones or enones, are reported. These reactions are reliant upon the formal anti-carbonickelation of the alkyne, which is postulated to occur by the rever...
