Abstract

Nickel-catalyzed Heck reaction of cycloalkenes delivers unusual conjugated arylated isomers. Nickel(0) catalysts ligated by chelating dialkylphosphines effectively activate not only aryl triflates as electrophiles, but also less reactive aryl mesylates, tosylates and pivalates. The omission of bases allows nickel hydride species to exist long enough to performin situolefin isomerization of initial Heck adducts.
