Abstract
A nickel-catalyzed denitrogenative cross-electrophile-coupling of benzotriazinones with unactivated alkyl halides (X = Cl, Br, I) in the presence of manganese powder as a reductant has been developed. The reaction furnishes ortho-alkylated secondary benzamides in modest to good yields under mild conditions. The scope of the reaction is demonstrated with 25 examples, showing good tolerance of steric hindrance and common functional groups, thus providing an efficient protocol to ortho-alkylated benzamide derivatives without the use of preprepared organometallic reagents.

Abstract
The construction of all-carbon quaternary centers, especially those containing an alkyne-substituted framework, represents an important challenge in organic synthesis. Here we present a novel Fe-catalyzed selective formal insertion of diazo compounds into C(sp)-C(sp3) bonds of propargyl alcohols under mild conditions that enables the streamlined construction of alkyne-substituted all-carbon quaternary centers. This unique strategy starts with in situ generation of an ester group in the presence of carboxylic acids, followed by insertion of metal-carbene into C(sp)-C(sp3) bonds, which may open up a new reaction mode for exploring metal-carbene insertion into acyclic C-C bonds.

Abstract
The nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling reaction of acyl chloride with racemic secondary α-trifluoromethyl bromide has been developed. By this chemistry, a series of structurally interesting chiral α-CF3 carbonyl compounds could be accessed with great enantioselectivity and good functional group tolerance. The study of late-stage transformation indicated that this chemistry could be used as the robust method to prepare products that contain a bioactive motif. Furthermore, the importance of the α-trifluoromethyl group to this reaction has been illustrated by control experiments.

Abstract
A visible-light-promoted nickel/photoredox-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling reaction between vinyl bromides and benzyl chlorides is reported. A diverse array of enantioenriched allylic centers containing products could be achieved in good yields (up to 90%) and high enantioselectivities (up to 95% ee). The mechanistic studies show that this reductive cross-coupling involves a radical pathway.

Abstract
The utilization of readily available starting materials to produce useful molecules is often challenged by selectivity issues. In this study, a Ni-catalyzed protecting-group-free C-C coupling protocol is described for the efficient synthesis of 2,2'-biphenol derivatives. Its remarkable chemoselectivity control ability, wide substrate scope, and excellent functional group tolerance highlight this newly developed strategy. Detailed mechanistic studies have demonstrated that potassium tert-butoxide acts as a critical agent to prevent the occurrence of protonation events.

Abstract
Construction of challenging and important all-carbon quaternary centers has received growing attention. Herein, with oxalates as activating groups for tertiary alcohols, we report photoredox-catalyzed gem-difluoroallylation to construct all-carbon quaternary centers enabled by efficient tertiary radical addition to α-trifluoromethyl alkenes. This transformation shows good functional group tolerance for both α-trifluoromethyl alkenes and oxalates. Moreover, this strategy is also successfully applied to the synthesis of monofluoralkenes from the corresponding electron-rich gem-difluoroalkenes and cesium tertiary alkyl oxalates under modified conditions.

Abstract
The carbene and photocatalyst co-catalyzed radical coupling of acyl electrophile and a radical precursor is emerging as attractive method for ketone synthesis. However, previous reports mainly limited to prefunctionalized radical precursors and two-component coupling. Herein, an N-heterocyclic carbene and photocatalyst catalyzed decarboxylative radical coupling of carboxylic acids and acyl imidazoles is disclosed, in which the carboxylic acids are directly used as radical precursors. The acyl imidazoles could also be generated in situ by reaction of a carboxylic acid with CDI thus furnishing a formally decarboxylative coupling of two carboxylic acids. In addition, the reaction is successfully extended to three-component coupling by using alkene as a third coupling partner via a radical relay process. The mild conditions, operational simplicity, and use of carboxylic acids as the reacting partners make our method a powerful strategy for construction of complex ketones from readily available starting materials, and late-stage modification of natural products and medicines. The combination of carbene- and photocatalysis has enabled unorthodox routes to ketone syntheses, but usually requires engineered or activated substrates. Herein the authors present a carbene- and photocatalytic decarboxylative radical coupling of carboxylic acids and acyl imidazoles, in which the carboxylic acids are directly used as radical precursors.

Abstract
A new class of chiral 2,2'-bipyridine ligands, SBpy, featuring minimized short-range steric hindrance and structural tunability was rationally designed and developed, and the effectiveness was demonstrated in the first highly enantioselective Ni-catalyzed addition of aryl halides to aldehydes. In comparison with known approaches using preformed aryl metallic reagents, this reaction is more step-economical and functional group tolerant. The reaction mechanism and a model of stereocontrol were proposed based on experimental and computational results.

Abstract
Enantioenriched alcohols comprise much of the framework of organic molecules. Here, we first report that chiral nickel complexes can catalyze the intermolecular enantioselective addition of aryl iodides across aldehydes to provide diverse optically active secondary alcohols using zinc metal as the reducing agent. This method shows a broad substrate scope under mild reaction conditions and precludes the traditional strategy through the pre-generation of organometallic reagents. Mechanistic studies indicate that an in situ formed arylnickel, instead of an arylzinc, adds efficiently to aldehydes, forming a new C-C bond and a chiral nickel alkoxide that may be turned over by zinc powder.

Abstract
Cross-electrophile coupling (XEC) reactions of aryl and alkyl electrophiles are appealing but limited to specific substrate classes. Here, we report electroreductive XEC of previously incompatible electrophiles including tertiary alkyl bromides, aryl chlorides, and aryl/vinyl triflates. Reactions rely on the merger of an electrochemically active complex that selectively reacts with alkyl bromides through 1e- processes and an electrochemically inactive Ni0(phosphine) complex that selectively reacts with aryl electrophiles through 2e- processes. Accessing Ni0(phosphine) intermediates is critical to the strategy but is often challenging. We uncover a previously unknown pathway for electrochemically generating these key complexes at mild potentials through a choreographed series of ligand-exchange reactions. The mild methodology is applied to the alkylation of a range of substrates including natural products and pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Compounds rich in sp3-hybridized carbons are desirable in drug discovery. Nickel-catalyzed hydrocarbonation of alkenes is a potentially efficient method to synthesize these compounds. By using abundant, readily available, and stable alkenes as pro-nucleophiles, these reactions can have broad scope and high functional group tolerance. However, this methodology is still in an early stage of development, as the first efficient examples were reported only in 2016. Herein, we summarize the progress of this emerging field, with an emphasis on enantioselective reactions. We highlight major developments, critically discuss a wide range of possible mechanisms, and offer our perspective of the state and challenges of the field. We hope this Perspective will stimulate future works in this area, making the methodology widely applicable in organic synthesis.

Abstract
A DFT study has been conducted to understand the asymmetric alkyl–alkyl bond formation through nickel-catalysed reductive coupling of racemic alkyl bromide with olefin in the presence of hydrosilane and K3PO4. The key findings of the study include: (i) under the reductive experimental conditions, the Ni(ii) precursor is easily activated/reduced to Ni(0) species which can serve as an active species to start a Ni(0)/Ni(ii) catalytic cycle. (ii) Alternatively, the reaction may proceed via a Ni(i)/Ni(ii)/Ni(iii) catalytic cycle starting with a Ni(i) species such as Ni(i)–Br. The generation of a Ni(i) active species via comproportionation of Ni(ii) and Ni(0) species is highly unlikely, because the necessary Ni(0) species is strongly stabilized by olefin. Alternatively, a cage effect enabled generation of a Ni(i) active catalyst from the Ni(ii) species involved in the Ni(0)/Ni(ii) cycle was proposed to be a viable mechanism. (iii) In both catalytic cycles, K3PO4 greatly facilitates the hydrosilane hydride transfer for reducing olefin to an alkyl coupling partner. The reduction proceeds by converting a Ni–Br bond to a Ni–H bond via hydrosilane hydride transfer to a Ni–alkyl bond via olefin insertion. On the basis of two catalytic cycles, the origins for enantioconvergence and enantioselectivity control were discussed. The enantioconvergent alkyl–alkyl coupling involves two competitive catalytic cycles with nickel(0) and nickel(i) active catalysts, respectively. K3PO4 plays a crucial role to enable the hydride transfer from hydrosilane to nickel–bromine species.![]()

Abstract
An enantioselective nickel-catalyzed intramolecular reductive cross-coupling of C(sp2) electrophiles and cyano groups is reported. Enantioenriched CN-containing all-carbon quaternary stereocenters are assembled by desymmetrizing cyclization of aryl/alkenyl halide-tethered malononitriles. The use of an organic reductant, (EtO)2MeSiH, is crucial to the enantioselectivity and reactivity. Applications of the method are demonstrated through the synthesis of bioactive molecules and their cyanated analogues and the total synthesis of the natural product diomuscinone. This study exhibits the potential of desymmetrizing reductive coupling strategies to access structurally rigid and synthetically versatile molecules from readily available starting materials.

Abstract
A nickel-catalyzed enantioconvergent reductive cross-coupling of α-chlorosulfones with vinyl bromides is described here. This strategy enables the enantioselective construction of chiral allylic sulfones from simple α-chlorosulfones and vinyl bromides. The mild reaction conditions lead to excellent functional group compatibility, as evidenced by the broad substrate scope and tolerance of complex bioactive molecules. Our preliminary mechanistic study suggests that this enantioselective vinylation process operates through a radical intermediate.

Abstract
Chiral phosphine-containing skeletons are important motifs in bioactive natural products, pharmaceuticals, chiral catalysts, and ligands. Herein, we report a general and modular platform to access chiral α-aryl phosphorus compounds via a Ni/photoredox-catalyzed enantioconvergent reductive cross-coupling between α-bromophosphates and aryl iodides. This dual catalytic regime exhibited high efficiency and good functional group compacity. A wide variety of substrates bearing a diverse set of functional groups could be converted into chiral phosphates in good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities. The utility of the method was also demonstrated by the development of a new phosphine ligand and the synthesis of enzyme inhibitor derivatives. The detailed mechanistic studies supported a radical chain process and revealed a unique distinction compared with traditional reductive cross-coupling.

Abstract
The gem-difluoroalkene moiety is an ideal carbonyl bioisostere in medicinal chemistry, but efficient synthesis of β-gem-difluoroalkene esters remains challenging so far. Herein, we disclose a photoredox-catalyzed allylic defluorinative alkoxycarbonylation of trifluoromethyl alkenes enabled by intermolecular alkoxycarbonyl radical addition. A wide variety of alcohol oxalate derivatives were amenable, affording various β-gem-difluoroalkene esters with excellent functional group tolerance. Notably, the potential synthetic value of this method is highlighted by successful late-stage modification for bioactive molecules.

Abstract
The ability to manipulate C-C bonds for selective chemical transformations is challenging and represents a growing area of research. Here, we report a formal insertion of diazo compounds into the "unactivated" C-C bond of benzyl bromide derivatives catalyzed by a simple Lewis acid. The homologation reaction proceeds via the intermediacy of a phenonium ion, and the products contain benzylic quaternary centers and an alkyl bromide amenable to further derivatization. Computational analysis provides critical insight into the reaction mechanism, in particular the key selectivity-determining step.

Abstract
AbstractSuzuki–Miyaura coupling is an extremely useful way to construct Csp2–Csp2 carbon bonds. On the other hand, Csp2–Csp3 coupling reactions do not work well, and tert-alkylative Suzuki–Miyaura coupling is particularly challenging due to problematic oxidative addition and β-hydride elimination side reactions. In this short review, we will introduce recent examples of tert-alkylative Suzuki–Miyaura couplings with tert-alkyl electrophiles or -boron reagents. The review will mainly focus on catalyst and product structures and on the proposed mechanisms.1 Introduction2 Ni-Catalyzed tert-Alkylative Couplings3 Pd-Catalyzed tert-Alkylative Couplings4 Fe-Catalyzed tert-Alkylative Couplings5 tert-Alkylative Couplings with 1-Alkenyl Borons6 tert-Alkylative Couplings under Photoirradiation7 Stereospecific tert-Alkylative Couplings8 Conclusion

Abstract
A highly general and straightforward approach to access chiral bis(indolyl)methanes (BIMs) bearing quaternary stereocenters has been realized via enantioconvergent dehydrative nucleophilic substitution. A broad range of 3,3'-, 3,2'- and 3,1'-BIMs were obtained under mild conditions with excellent efficiency and enantioselectivity (80 examples, up to 98% yield and >99 : 1 er). By utilizing racemic 3-indolyl tertiary alcohols as precursors of alkyl electrophiles and indoles as C-H nucleophiles, this organocatalytic strategy avoids pre-activation of substrates and produces water as the only by-product. Mechanistic studies suggest a formal SN1-type pathway enabled by chiral phosphoric acid catalysis. The practicability of the obtained enantioenriched BIMs was further demonstrated by versatile transformation and high antimicrobial activities (3al, MIC: 1 μg mL-1).

Abstract
Stereo- and enantioselective cross-electrophile coupling involving C-F bond activation is reported. Treatment of gem-difluoroalkenes with racemic benzyl electrophiles in the presence of a chiral nickel complex using B2 pin2 as a stoichiometric reductant allows the construction of a C(sp2 )-C(sp3 ) bond under mild conditions, affording a broad range of monofluoroalkenes bearing stereogenic allylic centers. Initial mechanistic studies indicate that a radical chain pathway may be operating, wherein the ester group in the gem-difluoroalkene promotes C-F bond activation through oxidative addition to a Ni species.

Abstract
Simultaneous deconstructive ring-opening and skeletal reconstruction of an inert, aromatic pyridinium ring is of great importance in synthetic communities. However, research in this area is still in its infancy. Here, a skeletal re-modeling strategy was developed to transform chalcone-based pyridinium salts into structurally intriguing polycyclic isoindolines through a dearomative ring-opening/ring-closing sequence. Two distinct driving forces for the deconstruction of the pyridinium core were involved in these transformations. One was the unprecedented harnessing of the instability of in situ generated cyclic β-aminoketones, and the other was the instability of the resultant N,N-ketals. The desired isoindoline polycycles could undergo the Wittig reaction with various phosphorus ylides to achieve structural diversity and complexity. Notably, by tuning the Wittig conditions by addition of one equivalent of base, an additional bridged ring was introduced. A plausible mechanism was proposed on the basis of control experiments and theoretical calculations.

Abstract
A method was developed for ketone synthesis via a photoredox-assisted reductive acyl cross-coupling (PARAC) using a nickel/photoredox dual-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of two different carboxylic acid esters. A variety of aryl, 1°, 2°, 3°-alkyl 2-pyridyl esters can act as acyl electrophiles while N-(acyloxy)phthalimides (NHPI esters) act as 1°, 2°, 3°-radical precursors. Our PARAC strategy provides an alternative and reliable way to synthesize various sterically congested 3°-3°, 3°-2°, and aryl-3° ketones under mild and highly unified conditions, which have been otherwise difficult to access. The combined experimental and computational studies identified a Ni0 /NiI /NiIII pathway for ketone formation.

Abstract
A nickel-catalyzed reductive cross coupling with phosphonium salts and allylic C(sp3)-O bond electrophiles, which granted direct construction of the C(sp2)-C(sp3) bond, is successfully developed. The protocol features broad substrate scope, high-functional-group tolerance, and heterocycle compatibility. Notably, the much more challenging reductive cross coupling with heterocyclic thiazolylphosphonium salts has also been accomplished for the first time.

Under optimized conditions, a wide variety of chiral 2-boryl-1,1-arylvinylalkanes are efficiently prepared from readily available olefins and vinyl halides in the presence of bis(pinacolato)diboron as the boron source in a mild and easy-to-operate manner. This three-component cascade protocol furnishes exceptional chemo- and stereoselectivity, and its usefulness is illustrated by its application in asymmetric modifications of several structurally complex natural products and pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
The catalytic dicarbofunctionalization of unsaturated π bonds represents a powerful platform for the rapid construction of complex motifs. Despite remarkable progress, novel and efficient methods for achieving such transformations under milder conditions with chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity still remain a significant challenge; thus, their development is highly desirable. Recently, the merging of nickel catalysis with radical chemistry offers a new and benign platform for the catalytic dicarbofunctionalization of unsaturated π bonds with unprecedented reactivity and selectivity. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in this area by underpinning the catalytic domino transformations involving radical capture by nickel to provide a clear overview of reaction designs and mechanistic scenarios.

A rhodium-catalyzed reductive annulation cascade reaction that consists of a formal anti-carborhodation of a C≡C bond and an aromatic C-H carbonylation cascade for producing cyclopenta[de]quinoline-2,5(1H,3H)-diones is described. This method uses the Mn reductant to reductively regenerate the active rhodium species, hence obviating the need for prefunctionalization, and represents a new route to the carbonylation of aromatic C-H bonds with alkynes leading to aryl vinyl ketone frameworks.

Abstract
Since the first studies about fifty years ago, the direct formation of C-C bonds, catalyzed by nickel complexes, has appeared as an important research topic, and has re-emerged recently as a renewal of nickel chemistry. This account provides a summary of the use of nickel complexes in catalysis, and highlights the evolution of our own research.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-electrophile C(sp2)–(sp3) coupling and C–H alkylation reactions represent two efficient methods for the incorporation of an alkyl group into aromatic rings. Herein, we report a Pd-catalyzed cascade cross-electrophile coupling and C–H alkylation reaction of 2-iodo-alkoxylarenes with alkyl chlorides. Methoxy and benzyloxy groups, which are ubiquitous functional groups and common protecting groups, were utilized as crucial mediators via primary or secondary C(sp3)–H activation. The reaction provides an innovative and convenient access for the synthesis of alkylated phenol derivatives, which are widely found in bioactive compounds and organic functional materials. A cascade Pd-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling and C–H alkylation reaction of 2-iodo-alkoxylarenes with alkyl chlorides has been developed by using an ortho-methoxy or benzyloxy group as a mediator via C(sp3)–H activation.![]()
