Abstract

Olefins are employed in many coupling procedures but direct hydrocarbonations of unactivated olefins remain to be developed. Here, the authors report the nickel-catalyzed reductive coupling of olefins with aryl and alky electrophiles under mild conditions and with a broad substrate scope.
