Abstract
In contrast to the kinetically favored outward isomerization-hydrocarbonylation of alkenes, the disfavored inward isomerization-hydrocarbonylation of alkenes remains an important challenge. Herein, we have developed a novel and effective palladium-catalyzed inward isomerization-hydroaminocarbonylation of unactivated alkenes and aniline hydrochlorides for the formation of synthetically valuable α-aryl carboxylic amides in high yields and high site-selectivities. The high efficiency of the reaction is attributed to a relay catalysis strategy, in which the Markovnikov-favored [PdH]-PtBu3 catalyst is responsible for inward isomerization, while the [PdH]-Ruphos catalyst is responsible for hydroaminocarbonylation of the resulting conjugated aryl alkenes. The reaction exhibits highly functional group tolerance and provides a new method for formal carbonylation of remote C(sp3)-H bond.

Abstract
O-Acylhydroxylamine has been widely employed as an electrophilic amination reagent in transition-metal-catalyzed C-N coupling reactions, but its use as an electrophilic oxygen source has not been disclosed. Here, we report a Pd-catalyzed 1,2-oxyarylation of alkenes with O-acylhydroxylamines as an oxidant and an oxygen source for the first time. With simple amide as the monodentate directing group, this method features a broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and mild conditions.

Abstract
The precise control of the regioselectivity in the transition metal-catalyzed migratory hydrofunctionalization of alkenes remains a big challenge. With a transient ketimine directing group, the nickel-catalyzed migratory β-selective hydroarylation and hydroalkenylation of alkenyl ketones has been realized with aryl boronic acids using alkyl halide as the mild hydride source for the first time. The key to this success is the use of a diphosphine ligand, which is capable of the generation of a Ni(II)-H species in the presence of alkyl bromide, and enabling the efficient migratory insertion of alkene into Ni(II)-H species and the sequent rapid chain walking process. The present approach diminishes organosilanes reductant, tolerates a wide array of complex functionalities with excellent regioselective control. Moreover, this catalytic system could also be applied to the migratory hydroarylation of alkenyl azahetereoarenes, thus providing a general approach for the preparation of 1,2-aryl heteroaryl motifs with wide potential applications in pharmaceutical discovery.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) has provided a detailed mechanistic picture for the redox neutral nickel(II)-catalyzed arylative cyclization reactions of a tethered allene-ketone with arylboronic acids. A mechanistic rationale for the high diastereo- and enantioselectivity achieved experimentally at high reaction temperature was uncovered through modeling the reaction with a chiral ligand and the predicted stereochemical outcome corroborates with experimental results. An unprecedented mechanism for the base-free organoboron transmetalation was revealed and the regioselectivity of migratory insertion of tethered allene-ketones as well as the stability of the possible allylnickel isomers (σ-allyl vs π-allyl) were clarified. The multifaceted nature of the reaction is revealed with certain elementary steps preferring cationic compared to the neutral state.

Abstract
One of the most challenging tasks in organic synthesis is to control selectivities, especially switching the well-known selectivity to obtain new isomers that were previously inaccessible. Inspired by biological catalysis involving multiple metal centers, catalysis enabled by binuclear metal complexes offers the potential to induce reactivity and selectivity that might not be available to mononuclear catalysts. Herein, we describe that using a macrocyclic bis pyridyl diimine dinickel complex as the catalyst, the commonly observed 4,3-regioselectivity of hydroarylation of 1,3-dienes is switched to 1,4-hydroarylation with thermodynamically less stable Z-stereoselectivity, offering challenging synthetic target Z-olefins. DFT calculations show that the activation of 1,3-diene proceeds through dinuclear Ni-diolefin coordination, and the synergistic effects of two Ni nuclei enable reactivity and selectivity of this binuclear catalysis substantially different from those of mononuclear nickel complexes in the current reaction.

Abstract
The Ni-catalyzed alkylboration of endocyclic olefins is a stereo- and regioselective approach for the synthesis of boron-containing compounds. We report a detailed density functional theory (DFT) study to elucidate the mechanism and origins of the stereo-, chemo-, and regioselectivity of alkylboration of endocyclic olefins enabled by nickel catalysis. The alkylboration proceeds via the migratory insertion of alkenes, β-H elimination of the Ni(II) complex, subsequent migratory insertion leading to a new Ni(II) complex, combined with an alkyl radical, and reductive eliminations. The electronic effects of the endocyclic olefins synergistically control the regioselectivity toward the C1- and C2-position boration. In C1-position boration, a more electron-deficient carbon atom tends to combine with an electron-rich -Bpin group and leads to C1-position boration products. The stereoselectivity is influenced by the solvent effect, and the interaction between the substrate and Ni-catalyzed groups, the low-polarity solvent 1,4-dioxane, and a favorable steric hindrance effect result in the cis-alkylboration product. Chemoselectivity toward 1,3-alkylboration results from the steric hindrance effects of the -Bpin group.

Abstract
The use of molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant in transition metal catalyzed oxidative process is an appealing and challenging task in organic synthetic chemistry. Here, we report a Ni-catalyzed hydroxylarylation of unactivated alkenes enabled by a β-diketone ligand with high efficiency and excellent regioselectivity employing molecular oxygen as the oxidant and hydroxyl source. This reaction features mild conditions, broad substrate scope and incredible heterocycle compatibility, providing a variety of β-hydroxylamides, γ-hydroxylamides, β-aminoalcohols, γ-aminoalcohols, and 1,3-diols in high yields.

Abstract
From the start of a synthetic chemist's training, experiments are conducted based on recipes from textbooks and manuscripts that achieve clean reaction outcomes, allowing the scientist to develop practical skills and some chemical intuition. This procedure is often kept long into a researcher's career, as new recipes are developed based on similar reaction protocols, and intuition-guided deviations are conducted through learning from failed experiments. However, when attempting to understand chemical systems of interest, it has been shown that model-based, algorithm-based, and miniaturized high-throughput techniques outperform human chemical intuition and achieve reaction optimization in a much more time- and material-efficient manner; this is covered in detail in this paper. As many synthetic chemists are not exposed to these techniques in undergraduate teaching, this leads to a disproportionate number of scientists that wish to optimize their reactions but are unable to use these methodologies or are simply unaware of their existence. This review highlights the basics, and the cutting-edge, of modern chemical reaction optimization as well as its relation to process scale-up and can thereby serve as a reference for inspired scientists for each of these techniques, detailing several of their respective applications.

Abstract
Nickel-catalyzed stereoselective hydroarylation is one of the most efficient methods to access functionalized arenes. Herein, computational studies have been applied to reveal the mechanism and origins of ligand-controlled enantioselectivity of Ni-catalyzed hydroarylation of 1,3-dienes using ethanol as the hydrogen source. DFT calculations show that the hydroarylation of (E)-diene takes place via concerted hydronickelation aided by boronate leading to an alkylnickel(II) intermediate, which further undergoes transmetallation and C-C reductive elimination to deliver the final chiral alkylarene. The hydronickelation is found to be the rate-determining step and is irreversible. The enantioselectivity is dominated by the transmetallation step, in which the ligand-substrate interactions are analyzed to unveil the source of stereocontrol. Besides, mechanistic studies demonstrate that the (Z)-diene initially reacts to offer a (S)-Z-alkyl-Ni(II) species, which preferably undergoes facile isomerization via σ-π-σ-π-σ interconversion to the (R)-E-alkyl-Ni(II) complex rather than the transmetallation step, thus ultimately generating the same (R)-alkylarene product as (E)-diene. Overall, the mechanistic understanding will be useful for the further advancement of asymmetric hydroarylation of dienes.

Abstract
Alkenes represent one of the most useful building blocks for organic synthesis, owing to their abundance and versatile reactivity. Transition metal (Pd, Cu, Co, Ni, Fe, etc.) catalyzed difunctionalization of alkenes provides efficient access to substituted molecules from readily available alkenes by installing functional groups across their carbon-carbon double bonds. Particularly, Nickel-based catalytic complexes have attracted a great deal of attention. This is because they are prone to undergoing oxidative addition and slow β-hydride elimination, and can access both two-electron and radical pathways. Numerous elegant Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling methods, e.g., (hetero)arylboration, alkenylboration, alkylboration and alkynylboration of alkenes, have been developed with broad scopes and a high tolerance to a variety of functional groups. Therefore, the Ni-catalyzed carboboration of alkenes has become an efficient synthetic protocol to deliver substituted compounds by the cross-coupling of alkenes, electrophiles, and B2Pin2. Despite this progress, a number of challenging issues remaining in the field include broadening the types of carboboration reactions, especially the asymmetric ones, diversifying electrophile types (which is limited to halogens for now) and gaining profound insight into the reaction mechanisms. This review summarizes the recent progress in this emerging field from the literature published since 2018.

Ligand-enabled Ni-catalyzed hydroarylation and hydroalkenylation of internal alkenes with organoborons. Nat Commun 2022; 13:6878.

Abstract
AbstractThe transition metal-catalyzed hydrofunctionalization of alkenes offers an efficient solution for the rapid construction of complex functional molecules, and significant progress has been made during last decades. However, the hydrofunctionalization of internal alkenes remains a significant challenge due to low reactivity and the difficulties of controlling the regioselectivity. Here, we report the hydroarylation and hydroalkenylation of internal alkenes lacking a directing group with aryl and alkenyl boronic acids in the presence of a nickel catalyst, featuring a broad substrate scope and wide functional group tolerance under redox-neutral conditions. The key to achieving this reaction is the identification of a bulky 1-adamantyl β-diketone ligand, which is capable of overcoming the low reactivity of internal 1,2-disubstituted alkenes. Preliminary mechanistic studies unveiled that this reaction undergoes an Ar-Ni(II)-H initiated hydroarylation process, which is generated by the oxidative addition of alcoholic solvent with Ni(0) species and sequential transmetalation. In addition, the oxidative addition of the alcoholic solvent proves to be the turnover-limiting step.

Abstract
Nowadays, design of the new chiral ligands for organometallic catalysts is often based on the step-by-step increase in their complexity to improve efficiency. Herein we describe that simple in situ addition of the fluoride source to the asymmetric organometallic catalyst can improve not only activity but also enantioselectivity. Bromide-nickel diimine complexes were found to catalyze asymmetric Michael addition in low yields and ee, but activation with fluoride leads to a significant improvement in catalyst performance. The developed approach was applied to prepare several enantioenriched GABA analogues.

Abstract
Azahetereocycles constitute important structural components in many biologically active natural compounds and marketed drugs, and represent the most promising scaffolds in drug discovery. Accordingly, the development of efficient and general synthetic methods for the construction of diverse azaheterocycles is the major goal in synthetic chemistry. Herein, we report the efficient construction of a wide range of azaheterocycles via a Pd-catalyzed migratory cycloannulation strategy with unactivated alkenes. This strategy enables the rapid synthesis of a series of 6-, 7- and 8-membered azaheterocycles in high efficiency, and features a broad substrate scope, excellent functional group tolerance under redox-neutral conditions. The significance of this finding is demonstrated by the efficient synthesis of drug-like molecules with high step-economy. Preliminary mechanistic investigations reveal that this reaction underwent a sequentially migratory insertion to alkenes, metal migration process, and the aza-Michael addition to a quinone methide intermediate.

Abstract
A carboxylic acid-directed regioselective hydroarylation reaction of unactivated alkenes with aryl boronic acids was reported. This transformation was enabled by homogeneous manganese catalyst MnBr(CO)5 in the presence of KOH and H2O in the m-xylene reaction medium. Both internal and terminal alkenes worked well in this transformation, and a series of functional groups were tolerated. This reaction not only provided an expeditious method to prepare γ-aryl carboxylic acids from simple starting materials but also would inspire further studies in employing homogeneous manganese catalysis in organic synthesis.

Abstract
Alkene hydrocarbonation reactions have been developed to supplement traditional electrophile-nucleophile cross-coupling reactions. The branch-selective hydroalkylation method applied to a broad range of unactivated alkenes remains challenging. Herein, we report a NiH-catalysed proximal-selective hydroalkylation of unactivated alkenes to access β- or γ-branched alkyl carboxylic acids and β-, γ- or δ-branched alkyl amines. A broad range of alkyl iodides and bromides with different functional groups can be installed with excellent regiocontrol and availability for site-selective late-stage functionalization of biorelevant molecules. Under modified reaction conditions with NiCl2(PPh3)2 as the catalyst, migratory hydroalkylation takes place to provide β- (rather than γ-) branched products. The keys to success are the use of aminoquinoline and picolinamide as suitable directing groups and combined experimental and computational studies of ligand effects on the regioselectivity and detailed reaction mechanisms.

Abstract
DFT studies reveal that Ni-catalysed redox-relay hydroarylation of alkenes occurs via concerted hydronickelation, iterative β-H elimination/migratory insertion and reductive elimination to yield the α-substituted product. The driving force for the redox-relay migratory hydroarylation arises from the stability of the LArNi(II)CHPhPr intermediate, which only allows its C-C elimination pathway to be opened up.

Abstract
The enantioselective hydroboration of vinylarenes catalyzed by a chiral, nonracemic nickel catalyst is presented as a facile method for generating chiral benzylic boronate esters. Various vinylarenes react with bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) in the presence of MeOH as a hydride source to form chiral boronate esters in up to 92% yield with up to 94% ee. The use of anhydrous Me4NF to activate B2pin2 is crucial for ensuring fast transmetalation to achieve high enantioselectivities.

Abstract
Disclosed here is a dual copper and nickel catalytic system with a silyl hydride source for promoting the linear selective hydroalkylation of vinylarenes. This carbon-carbon bond-forming protocol is applied to couple a variety of functionalized vinylarenes with alkyl halides applying a nickel(II) NNN pincer complex in the presence of an NHC-ligated copper catalyst. This combination allows for a 1 mol % loading of the nickel catalyst leading to turnover numbers of up to 72. Over 40 examples are presented, including applications for pharmaceutical diversification. Labeling experiments demonstrated the regioselectivity of the reaction and revealed that the copper catalyst plays a crucial role in enhancing the rate for formation of the reactive linear alkyl nickel complex. Overall, the presented work provides a complimentary approach for hydroalkylation reactions, whilst providing a preliminary mechanistic understanding of the cooperativity between the copper and nickel complexes.

Ni-catalyzed hydroalkylation of olefins with N-sulfonyl amines. Nat Commun 2021; 12:5881.

Abstract
Hydroalkylation, the direct addition of a C(sp3)–H bond across an olefin, is a desirable strategy to produce valuable, complex structural motifs in functional materials, pharmaceuticals, and natural products. Herein, we report a reliable method for accessing α-branched amines via nickel-catalyzed hydroalkylation reactions. Specifically, by using bis(cyclooctadiene)nickel (Ni(cod)2) together with a phosphine ligand, we achieved a formal C(sp3)–H bond insertion reaction between olefins and N-sulfonyl amines without the need for an external hydride source. The amine not only provides the alkyl motif but also delivers hydride to the olefin by means of a nickel-engaged β–hydride elimination/reductive elimination process. This method provides a platform for constructing chiral α-branched amines by using a P-chiral ligand, demonstrating its potential utility in organic synthesis. Notably, a sulfonamidyl boronate complex formed in situ under basic conditions promotes ring-opening of the azanickellacycle reaction intermediate, leading to a significant improvement of the catalytic efficiency. Catalytic addition of a carbon chain and a hydrogen across a double bond has often required an added hydride source. Here the authors show a method to add alkanes with an amino functionality to olefins, wherein a nickel catalyst uses the amine itself as the hydride source, obviating an external hydride reagent.

Abstract
We report a full account of our research on nickel-catalyzed Markovnikov-selective hydroarylation and hydroalkenylation of non-conjugated alkenes, which has yielded a toolkit of methods that proceed under mild conditions with alkenyl sulfonamide, ketone, and amide substrates. Regioselectivity is controlled through catalyst coordination to the native Lewis basic functional groups contained within these substrates. To maximize product yield, reaction conditions were fine-tuned for each substrate class, reflecting the different coordination properties of the directing functionality. Detailed kinetic and computational studies shed light on the mechanism of this family of transformations, pointing to transmetalation as the turnover-limiting step. Native Lewis basic functional groups enable the nickel-catalyzed Markovnikov-selective hydroarylation and hydroalkenylation of unactivated alkenes with organoboron reagents.![]()

Abstract
Alkene hydrocarbofunctionalization represents one of the most important classes of chemical transformations, but related branched-selective examples with unactivated olefins are scarce. Here, we report that catalytic amounts of a dimeric Ni(I) complex 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 up to 95% yield and >99:1 regioisomeric ratios. Contrary to previous dual-catalytic methods that rely on metal-hydride atom transfer (MHAT) to the olefin prior to carbofunctionalization with a cocatalyst, our mechanistic evidence points toward a nonradical reaction pathway that begins with site-selective carbonickelation across the C═C bond followed by hydride transfer using alkoxide as the hydride source. Utility of the single-catalyst protocol is highlighted through the synthesis of medicinally relevant scaffolds.

Abstract
The C-C bond formation reaction represents a fundamental and important transformation in synthetic chemistry, and exploring new types of C-C bond formation reactions is recognized as appealing, yet challenging. Herein, we disclose the first example of rhodium-catalyzed dealkenylative arylation of alkenes with arylboronic compounds, thereby providing an unconventional access to bi(hetero)aryls with excellent chemoselectivity. In this method, C(aryl)-C(alkenyl) and C(alkenyl)-C(alkenyl) bonds in various alkenes and 1,3-dienes can be cleaved via a hydrometalation and followed by β-carbon elimination pathway for Suzuki-Miyaura reactions. Furthermore, a series of novel organic fluorescent molecules with excellent photophysical properties has been efficiently constructed with this protocol.

Abstract
A Ni-catalyzed silylacylation of alkenes is presented. The reaction combines alkenes, ClZnSiR3, and acid chlorides to provide rapid access to β-silyl ketones. Importantly, the method involves a [Ni]-SiR3 complex as a catalytic intermediate, which is rarely described for three-component alkene functionalization. Finally, the synthetic utility of the products is demonstrated, and the mechanistic details are described.

Abstract
The mechanism of nickel-catalyzed hydroarylation of styrenes has been explored with density functional theory. Instead of the stepwise pathway via a Ni(II)-H species, computational results unveil that the concerted RO-H oxidative addition/olefin insertion takes place kinetically favorable to generate the alkylnickel(II) species, which further undergoes transmetalation and reductive elimination to yield the hydroarylated product. The origins of regio- and stereoselectivity were revealed via analyzing the electronic and steric effects of the key transition states.
