Abstract
Zinc and manganese are widely used as reductants in synthetic methods, such as nickel-catalysed cross-electrophile coupling (XEC) reactions, but their redox potentials are unknown in organic solvents. Here we show how open-circuit potential measurements may be used to determine the thermodynamic potentials of Zn and Mn in different organic solvents and in the presence of common reaction additives. The impact of these Zn and Mn potentials is analysed for a pair of Ni-catalysed reactions, each showing a preference for one of the two reductants. Ni-catalysed coupling of N-alkyl-2,4,6-triphenylpyridinium reagents (Katritzky salts) with aryl halides are then compared under chemical reaction conditions, using Zn or Mn reductants, and under electrochemical conditions performed at applied potentials corresponding to the Zn and Mn reduction potentials and at potentials optimized to achieve the maximum yield. The collective results illuminate the important role of reductant redox potential in Ni-catalysed XEC reactions.

Abstract
Formate-mediated reductive cross-couplings of vinyl halides with aryl iodides via palladium(I) catalysis occur with highly uncommon cine-substitution. The active dianionic palladium(I) catalyst, [Pd2I4][NBu4]2, is generated in situ from Pd(OAc)2, Bu4NI, and formate. Oxidative addition of aryl iodide followed by dissociation of the dimer provides the monomeric anionic T-shaped arylpalladium(II) species, [Pd(Ar)(I)2(NBu4)], which, upon vinyl halide carbopalladation, forms products of cine-substitution by way of palladium(IV) carbenes, as corroborated by deuterium-labeling experiments.

Abstract
Herein, the use of economically and environmentally friendly bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2Pin2) is described as a non-metallic reductant in mediating Ni-catalyzed C(sp3)-C(sp2) reductive cross-coupling of alkyl electrophiles with aryl/vinyl halides. This method exhibits excellent suitability for heteroaryl halides and alkyl halides/Katritzky salts. The present study is compatible with an in situ halogenation of alcohol method, allowing for selective mono-functionalization of diols and bio-relevant alcohols (e.g., carbohydrates). The use of B2Pin2 shows potential for easy scalability without introducing additional metal impurities into the products. It is observed for the first time in the realm of cross-electrophile coupling chemistry that B2Pin2 can sever as a reductant to reduce NiII to Ni0. This mechanistic insight may inspire the development of new reductive bond-forming methodologies that can otherwise be difficult to achieve with a metal reductant.

Abstract
The synthesis of a new homogeneous reductant based on 4,4'-tBu2-2,2'-bipyridine, tBu-OED4, is reported. tBu-OED4 was prepared on a multigram scale in two steps from inexpensive and commercially available starting materials, with no chromatography required for purification. tBu-OED4 has a reduction potential of -1.33 V (vs Ferrocenium/Ferrocene) and is soluble in a range of common organic solvents. We demonstrate that tBu-OED4 can facilitate Ni/Co dual-catalyzed C(sp2)-C(sp3) cross-electrophile coupling reactions and is highly functional group tolerant. tBu-OED4 is expected to be a valuable addition to the set of homogeneous reductants available for organic transformations.

Abstract
Site-selective functionalization of the heterobenzylic C(sp3)-H bonds of pyridines and related heteroaromatic compounds presents challenges associated with the basic nitrogen atom and the variable reactivity among different positions on the heteroaromatic ring. Methods for functionalization of 2- and 4-alkylpyridines are increasingly available through polar pathways that leverage resonance stabilization of charge build-up at these positions. In contrast, functionalization of 3-alkylpyridines is largely inaccessible. Here, we report a photochemically promoted method for chlorination of non-resonant heterobenzylic C(sp3)-H sites in 3-alkylpyridines and related alkylheteroaromatics. Density functional theory calculations show that the optimal reactivity reflects a balance between the energetics of the two radical-chain propagation steps, with the preferred reagent consisting of an N-chlorosulfonamide. The operationally simple chlorination protocol enables access to heterobenzylic chlorides which serve as versatile intermediates in C-H cross-coupling reactions between heteroaromatic building blocks and diverse oxidatively sensitive nucleophiles using high-throughput experimentation.

Abstract
ConspectusTransition metal-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling of two carbon electrophiles, also known as cross-electrophile coupling (XEC), has transformed the landscape of C-C coupling chemistry. Nickel catalysts, in particular, have demonstrated exceptional performance in facilitating XEC reactions, allowing for diverse elegant transformations by employing various electrophiles to forge C-C bonds. Nevertheless, several crucial challenges remain to be addressed. First, the intrinsic chemoselectivity between two structurally similar electrophiles in Ni-catalyzed C(sp3)-C(sp3) and C(sp2)-C(sp2) cross-coupling has not been well understood; this necessitates an excess of one of the coupling partners to achieve synthetically useful outcomes. Second, the substitution of economically and environmentally benign nonmetal reductants for Zn/Mn can help scale up XEC reactions and avoid trace metals in pharmaceutical products, but research in this direction has progressed slowly. Finally, it is highly warranted to leverage mechanistic insights from Ni-catalyzed XEC to develop innovative thermoredox coupling protocols, specifically designed to tackle challenges associated with difficult substrates such as C(sp3)-H bonds and unactivated alkenes.In this Account, we address the aforementioned issues by reviewing our recent work on the reductive coupling of C-X and C-O electrophiles, the thermoredox strategy for coupling associated with C(sp3)-H bonds and unactivated alkenes, and the use of diboron esters as nonmetal reductants to achieve reductive coupling. We focus on the mechanistic perspectives of the transformations, particularly how the key C-NiIII-C intermediates are generated, in order to explain the chemoselective and regioselective coupling results. The Account consists of four sections. First, we discuss the Zn/Mn-mediated chemoselective C(sp2)-C(sp2) and C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond formations based on the coupling of selected alkyl/aryl, allyl/benzyl, and other electrophiles. Second, we describe the use of diboron esters as versatile reductants to achieve C(sp3)-C(sp3) and C(sp3)-C(sp2) couplings, with an emphasis on the mechanistic consideration for the construction of C(sp3)-C(sp2) bonds. Third, we discuss leveraging C(sp3)-O bonds for effective C(sp3)-C bond formation via in situ halogenation of alcohols as well as the reductive preparation of α-vinylated and -arylated unusual amino esters. In the final section, we illustrate the thermoredox functionalization of challenging C(sp3)-H bonds with aryl and alkyl halides to afford C(sp3)-C bonds by taking advantage of the compatibility of Zn with the oxidant di-tert-butylperoxide (DTBP). Furthermore, we discuss a Ni-catalyzed and SiH/DTBP-mediated hydrodimerization of terminal alkenes to selectively forge head-to-head and methyl branched C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds. This process, conducted in the presence or absence of catalytic CuBr2, provides a solution to a long-standing challenge: site-selective hydrocoupling of unactivated alkenes to produce challenging C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds.

Abstract
Although screening technology has heavily impacted the fields of metal catalysis and drug discovery, its application to the discovery of new catalyst classes has been limited. The diversity of on- and off-cycle pathways, combined with incomplete mechanistic understanding, means that screens of potential new ligands have thus far been guided by intuitive analysis of the metal binding potential. This has resulted in the discovery of new classes of ligands, but the low hit rates have limited the use of this strategy because large screens require considerable cost and effort. Here, we demonstrate a method to identify promising screening directions via simple and scalable computational and linear regression tools that leads to a substantial improvement in hit rate, enabling the use of smaller screens to find new ligands. The application of this approach to a particular example of Ni-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of aryl halides with alkyl halides revealed a previously overlooked trend: reactions with more electron-poor amidine ligands result in a higher yield. Focused screens utilizing this trend were more successful than serendipity-based screening and led to the discovery of two new types of ligands, pyridyl oxadiazoles and pyridyl oximes. These ligands are especially effective for couplings of bromo- and chloroquinolines and isoquinolines, where they are now the state of the art. The simplicity of these models with parameters derived from metal-free ligand structures should make this approach scalable and widely accessible.

Abstract
The first deoxygenative Heck reactions are described, as illustrated by formate-mediated cine-substitutions of vinyl triflates with aryl iodides. The collective data corroborate a mechanism in which Pd(OAc)2 and Bu4NI form the dianionic iodide-bridged dimer [Pd2I6][NBu4]2, which, under reducing conditions, serves as a precursor to the palladium(I) complex [Pd2I4][NBu4]2. Dinculear oxidative addition of aryl iodide forms [Pd2I5(Ar)][NBu4]2, which dissociates to the monometallic complex [PdI2(Ar)][NBu4]. Vinyl triflate migratory insertion-sulfonate elimination delivers a palladium(IV) carbene, which upon β-hydride elimination/C-H reductive elimination gives the product of cine-substitution. These processes are the first efficient formate-mediated cross-electrophile reductive couplings beyond carbonyl addition.

Abstract
A Ni-catalyzed reductive dicarbofunctionalization of α-CF3 styrenes with benzyl bromides has been accomplished. This transformation obviates the commonly facile β-F elimination effectively and enables the creation of CF3-substituted all-carbon quaternary centers of pharmaceutical interests. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest a pathway consisting of benzyl radical addition and subsequent nickel-mediated benzylation of the resulting α-CF3-embedded tertiary C radical.

Abstract
Amines and carboxylic acids are abundant synthetic building blocks that are classically united to form an amide bond. To access new pockets of chemical space, we are interested in the development of amine-acid coupling reactions that complement the amide coupling. In particular, the formation of carbon-carbon bonds by formal deamination and decarboxylation would be an impactful addition to the synthesis toolbox. Here, we report a formal cross-coupling of alkyl amines and aryl carboxylic acids to form C(sp3)-C(sp2) bonds following preactivation of the amine-acid building blocks as a pyridinium salt and N-acyl-glutarimide, respectively. Under nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling conditions, a diversity of simple and complex substrates are united in good to excellent yield, and numerous pharmaceuticals are successfully diversified. High-throughput experimentation was leveraged in the development of the reaction and the discovery of performance-enhancing additives such as phthalimide, RuCl3, and GaCl3. Mechanistic investigations suggest phthalimide may play a role in stabilizing productive Ni complexes rather than being involved in oxidative addition of the N-acyl-imide and that RuCl3 supports the decarbonylation event, thereby improving reaction selectivity.

Abstract
An electrochemically driven nickel-catalyzed enantioselective reductive cross-coupling of aryl aziridines with alkenyl bromides has been developed, affording enantioenriched β-aryl homoallylic amines with excellent E-selectivity. This electroreductive strategy proceeds in the absence of heterogeneous metal reductants and sacrificial anodes by employing constant current electrolysis in an undivided cell with triethylamine as a terminal reductant. The reaction features mild conditions, remarkable stereocontrol, broad substrate scope, and excellent functional group compatibility, which was illustrated by the late-stage functionalization of bioactive molecules. Mechanistic studies indicate that this transformation conforms with a stereoconvergent mechanism in which the aziridine is activated through a nucleophilic halide ring-opening process.

Dicarbofunctionalization is an important efficient synthetic technique for adding two chemical moieties across an alkene. Here, a novel method of reductive dicarbofunctionalization has been developed using a single alkenyl triflate as the electrophile, combined with an unactivated alkene. The reaction does not require an external auxiliary and proceeds with complete regioselectivity.

Abstract
The cross-electrophile coupling of either twisted-amides or heteroaryl halides with alkyl halides, enabled by ball-milling, is herein described. The operationally simple nickel-catalyzed process has no requirement for inert atmosphere or dry solvents and delivers the corresponding acylated or heteroarylated products across a broad range of substrates. Key to negating the necessity of inert reaction conditions is the mechanical activation of the raw metal terminal reductant: manganese in the case of twisted amides and zinc for heteroaryl halides.

Abstract
Nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-electrophile coupling reactions are becoming increasingly important in organic synthesis, but application at scale is limited by three interconnected challenges: a reliance on amide solvents (complicated workup, regulated), the generation of stoichiometric Zn salts (complicated isolation, waste disposal issue), and mixing/activation challenges of zinc powder. We show here an electrochemical approach that addresses these three issues: the reaction works in acetonitrile with diisopropylethylamine as the terminal reductant in a simple undivided cell (graphite(+)/nickel foam(-)). The reaction utilizes a combination of two ligands, 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine and 4,4',4''-tri-tert-butyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine. Studies show that, alone, the bipyridine nickel catalyst predominantly forms protodehalogenated aryl and aryl dimer, whereas the terpyridine nickel catalyst predominantly forms bialkyl and product. By combining these two unselective catalysts, a tunable, general system results because excess radical formed by the terpyridine catalyst can be converted to product by the bipyridine catalyst. As the aryl bromide becomes more electron rich, the optimal ratio shifts to have more of the bipyridine nickel catalyst. Lastly, examination of a variety of flow-cell configurations establishes that batch recirculation can achieve higher productivity (mmol product/time/electrode area) than single-pass, that high flow rates are essential to maximizing current, and that two flow cells in parallel can nearly halve the reaction time. The resulting reaction is demonstrated on gram scale and should be scalable to kilogram scale.

Abstract
Many contemporary organic transformations, such as Ni-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling (XEC), require a reductant. Typically, heterogeneous reductants, such as Zn0 or Mn0, are used as the electron source in these reactions. Although heterogeneous reductants are highly practical for preparative-scale batch reactions, they can lead to complications in performing reactions on process scale and are not easily compatible with modern applications, such as flow chemistry. In principle, homogeneous organic reductants can address some of the challenges associated with heterogeneous reductants and also provide greater control of the reductant strength, which can lead to new reactivity. Nevertheless, homogeneous organic reductants have rarely been used in XEC. In this Perspective, we summarize recent progress in the use of homogeneous organic electron donors in Ni-catalyzed XEC and related reactions, discuss potential synthetic and mechanistic benefits, describe the limitations that inhibit their implementation, and outline challenges that need to be solved in order for homogeneous organic reductants to be widely utilized in synthetic chemistry. Although our focus is on XEC, our discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of different methods for introducing electrons is general to other reductive transformations.

Abstract
Porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) are attractive materials for applications where high surface area and material stability govern performance. Most of the highest surface area PAFs are synthesized using poorly scalable and costly methods involving super-stoichiometric bis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)Nickel(0) (Ni(COD)2). This communication describes a general approach for the synthesis of high surface area PAFs that does not use isolated Ni(COD)2. The method is general to at least seven microporous polymers and can be conducted on gram scales without the use of an inert atmosphere glovebox. This work is expected to improve the synthetic accessibility of these materials.

Abstract
Ingestion of alkaloid metabolites from the bark of Galbulimima (GB) sp. leads to psychotropic and excitatory effects in humans1-4. Limited, variable supply of GB alkaloids5, however, has impeded their biological exploration and clinical development6. Here we report a solution to the supply of GB18, a structural outlier and putative psychotropic principle of Galbulimima bark. Efficient access to its challenging tetrahedral attached-ring motif required the development of a ligand-controlled endo-selective cross-electrophile coupling and a diastereoselective hydrogenation of a rotationally dynamic pyridine. Reliable, gram-scale access to GB18 enabled its assignment as a potent antagonist of κ- and μ-opioid receptors-the first new targets in 35 years-and lays the foundation to navigate and understand the biological activity of Galbulimima metabolites.

Abstract
The structure of primary alkylated arenes plays an important role in the molecular action of drugs and natural products. The nickel/spiro-bidentate-pyox catalysed cross-electrophile coupling of aryl bromides and primary alkyl bromides was developed for the formation of the Csp2-Csp3 bond, which provided an efficient method for the synthesis of primary alkylated arenes. The reactions could tolerate functional groups such as ester, aldehyde, ketone, ether, benzyl, and imide.

Abstract
Although alcohols are one of the largest pools of alkyl substrates, approaches to utilize them in cross-coupling and cross-electrophile coupling are limited. We report the use of 1° and 2° alcohols in cross-electrophile coupling with aryl and vinyl halides to form C(sp3)-C(sp2) bonds in a one-pot strategy utilizing a very fast (<1 min) bromination. The reaction's simple benchtop setup and broad scope (42 examples, 56% ± 15% ave yield) facilitates use at all scales. The potential in parallel synthesis applications was demonstrated by successfully coupling all combinations of 8 alcohols with 12 aryl cores in a 96-well plate.

Abstract
The syntheses of four new tunable homogeneous organic reductants based on a tetraaminoethylene scaffold are reported. The new reductants have enhanced air stability compared to current homogeneous reductants for metal-mediated reductive transformations, such as cross-electrophile coupling (XEC), and are solids at room temperature. In particular, the weakest reductant is indefinitely stable in air and has a reduction potential of -0.85 V versus ferrocene, which is significantly milder than conventional reductants used in XEC. All of the new reductants can facilitate C(sp2)-C(sp3) Ni-catalyzed XEC reactions and are compatible with complex substrates that are relevant to medicinal chemistry. The reductants span a range of nearly 0.5 V in reduction potential, which allows for control over the rate of electron transfer events in XEC. Specifically, we report a new strategy for controlled alkyl radical generation in Ni-catalyzed C(sp2)-C(sp3) XEC. The key to our approach is to tune the rate of alkyl radical generation from Katritzky salts, which liberate alkyl radicals upon single electron reduction, by varying the redox potentials of the reductant and Katritzky salt utilized in catalysis. Using our method, we perform XEC reactions between benzylic Katritzky salts and aryl halides. The method tolerates a variety of functional groups, some of which are particularly challenging for most XEC transformations. Overall, we expect that our new reductants will both replace conventional homogeneous reductants in current reductive transformations due to their stability and relatively facile synthesis and lead to the development of novel synthetic methods due to their tunability.

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.

Abstract
High-throughput experimentation (HTE) methods are central to modern medicinal chemistry. While many HTE approaches to C-N and Csp2 -Csp2 bonds are available, options for Csp2 -Csp3 bonds are limited. We report here how the adaptation of nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of aryl bromides with alkyl halides to HTE is enabled by AbbVie ChemBeads technology. By using this approach, we were able to quickly map out the reactivity space at a global level with a challenging array of 3×222 micromolar reactions. The observed hit rate (56 %) is competitive with other often-used HTE reactions and the results are scalable. A key to this level of success was the finding that bipyridine 6-carboxamidine (BpyCam), a ligand that had not previously been shown to be optimal in any reaction, is as general as the best-known ligands with complementary reactivity. Such "cryptic" catalysts may be common and modern HTE methods should facilitate the process of finding these catalysts.

Abstract
As sp2-sp3 disconnections gain acceptance in the medicinal chemist's toolbox, an increasing number of potential drug candidates containing this motif are moving into the pharmaceutical development pipeline. This raises a new set of questions and challenges around the novel, direct methodologies available for forging these bonds. These questions gain further importance in the context of process chemistry, where the focus is the development of scalable processes that enable the large-scale delivery of clinical supplies. In this paper, we describe our efforts to apply a wide variety of standard, photo-, and electrochemical sp2-sp3 cross-coupling methods to a pharmaceutically relevant intermediate and optimize each through a combination of high throughput and mechanistically guided experimentation. With data regarding the performance, benefits, and limitations of these novel methods, we evaluate them against a more traditional two-step palladium-catalyzed process. This work reveals trends and similarities between these sp2-sp3 bond-forming methods and suggests a path forward for further refinements.

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.![]()

Abstract
Two catalytic systems for the formate-mediated cross-electrophile reductive coupling of 4-iodoansiole with 6-bromopyridines are described. Using homogenous rhodium or heterogeneous palladium catalysts, the product of reductive biaryl cross-coupling could be formed in moderate yield with excellent levels of chemoselectivity.

Abstract
A dual photochemical/nickel-mediated decarboxylative strategy for the assembly of C(sp3)-C(sp2) linkages is disclosed. Under light irradiation at 390 nm, commercially available and inexpensive Hantzsch ester (HE) functions as a potent organic photoreductant to deliver catalytically active Ni(0) species through single-electron transfer (SET) manifolds. As part of its dual role, the Hantzsch ester effects a decarboxylative-based radical generation through electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex activation. This homogeneous, net-reductive platform bypasses the need for exogenous photocatalysts, stoichiometric metal reductants, and additives. Under this cross-electrophile paradigm, the coupling of diverse C(sp3)-centered radical architectures (including primary, secondary, stabilized benzylic, α-oxy, and α-amino systems) with (hetero)aryl bromides has been accomplished. The protocol proceeds under mild reaction conditions in the presence of sensitive functional groups and pharmaceutically relevant cores.

Abstract
We report an asymmetric homocoupling of ortho-(iodo)arylphosphine oxides and ortho-(iodo)arylphosphonates resulting in highly enantioenriched axially chiral bisphosphine oxides and bisphosphonates. These products are readily converted to enantioenriched biaryl bisphosphines without need for chiral auxiliaries or optical resolution. This provides a practical route for the development of previously uninvestigated atroposelective biaryl bisphosphine ligands. The conditions have also proven effective for asymmetric dimerization of other, non-phosphorus-containing aryl halides.

Abstract
A dual catalytic system for cross-electrophile coupling reactions between aryl halides and alkyl halides that features a Ni catalyst, a Co cocatalyst, and a mild homogeneous reductant is described. Mechanistic studies indicate that the Ni catalyst activates the aryl halide, while the Co cocatalyst activates the alkyl halide. This allows the system to be rationally optimized for a variety of substrate classes by simply modifying the loadings of the Ni and Co catalysts based on the reaction product profile. For example, the coupling of aryl bromides and aryl iodides with alkyl bromides, alkyl iodides, and benzyl chlorides is demonstrated using the same Ni and Co catalysts under similar reaction conditions but with different optimal catalyst loadings in each case. Our system is tolerant of numerous functional groups and is capable of coupling heteroaryl halides, di-ortho-substituted aryl halides, pharmaceutically relevant druglike aryl halides, and a diverse range of alkyl halides. Additionally, the dual catalytic platform facilitates a series of selective one-pot three-component cross-electrophile coupling reactions of bromo(iodo)arenes with two distinct alkyl halides. This demonstrates the unique level of control that the platform provides and enables the rapid generation of molecular complexity. The system can be readily utilized for a wide range of applications as all reaction components are commercially available, the reaction is scalable, and toxic amide-based solvents are not required. It is anticipated that this strategy, as well as the underlying mechanistic framework, will be generalizable to other cross-electrophile coupling reactions.

Abstract
Nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling reactions have emerged as powerful methods to join two electrophiles. These reactions have proven particularly useful for the coupling of sec-alkyl electrophiles to form stereogenic centers; however, the development of enantioselective variants remains challenging. In this Perspective, we summarize the progress that has been made toward Ni-catalyzed enantioselective reductive cross-coupling reactions.

Abstract
A unique nickel/organic photoredox co-catalyzed asymmetric reductive cross-coupling between α-chloro esters and aryl iodides is developed. This cross-electrophile coupling reaction employs an organic reductant (Hantzsch ester), whereas most reductive cross-coupling reactions use stoichiometric metals. A diverse array of valuable α-aryl esters is formed under these conditions with high enantioselectivities (up to 94 %) and good yields (up to 88 %). α-Aryl esters represent an important family of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This novel synergistic strategy expands the scope of Ni-catalyzed reductive asymmetric cross-coupling reactions.

Abstract
Herein we report our recent progress toward the enantioselective total synthesis of the diterpenoid natural products curcusones A-D by means of complementary Stetter annulation or ring-closing metathesis (RCM) disconnections. Using the latter approach, we have achieved the concise construction of the 5-7-6 carbocyclic core embedded in each member of the curcusone family. Essential to this route is the use of a cross-electrophile coupling strategy, which has not previously been harnessed in the context of natural product synthesis.

Abstract
A stereodivergent reductive coupling reaction between allylic carbonates and vinyl triflates to furnish both E- and Z-configured 1,4-dienes has been achieved by visible-light-induced photoredox/nickel dual catalysis. The mild reaction conditions allow good compatibility of both vinyl triflates and allylic carbonates. Notably, the stereoselectivity of this synergistic cross-electrophile coupling can be tuned by an appropriate photocatalyst with a suitable triplet-state energy, providing a practical and stereodivergent means to alkene synthesis. Preliminary mechanistic studies shed some light on the coupling step as well as the control of the stereoselectivity step.

Abstract
An electrochemically-driven enantioselective nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling of alkenyl bromides and benzyl chlorides is reported. The reaction forms products bearing allylic stereogenic centers with good enantioselectivity under mild conditions in an undivided cell. Electrochemical activation and turnover of the catalyst mitigate issues posed by metal powder reductants. This report demonstrates that enantioselective Ni-catalyzed cross-electrophile couplings can be driven electrochemically.
