Abstract
There is ongoing intense interest in catalysis with the Earth-abundant metal nickel. This DFT study reveals a plausible mechanism for the first Ni-catalyzed asymmetric Reppe carbonylation of cyclopropenes with carbon monoxide and phenols/alcohols. The RO-H bond undergoes a distinct heterolytic cleavage rather than the proposed oxidative addition, transferring a proton to a nickel-bound anionic carbon atom in a stereoselective manner. This and other novel insights gained can have implications for developing new asymmetric Reppe reactions.

Abstract
The catalytic regio- and enantioselective hydrocarboxylation of alkenes with carbon dioxide is a straightforward strategy to construct enantioenriched α-chiral carboxylic acids but remains a big challenge. Herein we report the first example of catalytic highly enantio- and site-selective remote hydrocarboxylation of a wide range of readily available unactivated alkenes with abundant and renewable CO2 under mild conditions enabled by the SaBOX/Ni catalyst. The key to this success is utilizing the chiral SaBOX ligand, which combines with nickel to simultaneously control both chain-walking and the enantioselectivity of carboxylation. This process directly furnishes a range of different alkyl-chain-substituted or benzo-fused α-chiral carboxylic acids bearing various functional groups in high yields and regio- and enantioselectivities. Furthermore, the synthetic utility of this methodology was demonstrated by the concise synthesis of the antiplatelet aggregation drug (R)-indobufen from commercial starting materials.

Abstract
This work presents a comprehensive mechanistic study of the ligand-controlled palladium-catalyzed prenylation (with C5 added) and geranylation (with C10 added) reactions of oxindole with isoprene. The calculated results indicate that the prenylation with the bis-phosphine ligand and geranylation with the monophosphine ligand fundamentally share a common mechanism. This mechanism involves the formation of two crucial species: a η3-allyl-Pd(II) cation and an oxindole carbon anion. Furthermore, the reactions necessitate the assistance of a second oxindole molecule, which serves as a Brønsted acid, providing a proton to generate the oxindole nitrogen anion. The oxindole nitrogen anion then acts as a Brønsted base, abstracting a C-H proton from another oxindole molecule to form an oxindole carbon anion. These mechanistic details differ significantly from those proposed in the experimental work. The present calculations do not support the presence of the Pd-H species and the η3, η3-diallyl-Pd(II) intermediate, which were previously suggested in experiments. The theoretical results rationalize the experimental finding that the bis-phosphine ligand favors the prenylation of oxindole, while the monophosphine ligand enables the geranylation of oxindole.

Abstract
Comprehensive computational studies were carried out to explore the mechanisms and origin of regioselectivity in the Pd-catalyzed regiodivergent coupling reaction of indazoles and isoprene. Three different insertion models were investigated for regioselectivity 1,2- or 4,3-insertion with respect to the electrophilic sites on isoprene under two different ligands (L1 and L2) and acids ((PhO)2PO2H, (nBuO)2PO2H) via PdII-H species, allyl-π-PdII-O, and indazoles-acid-assisted PdII-π-allyl. The calculated results show that the PdII-π-allyl coordinated mechanism is the most preferred one. The noncovalent interactions between the less bulky ligand L1, substrates, and (PhO)2PO2- are found to be key factors for 1,2-insertion. The 4,3-insertion selectivity is primarily controlled by the steric repulsion of the t-Bu group of bulky ligand L2 and substrate, as well as the geometry distortion. Therefore, the regioselectivity difference of the 1,2- and 4,3-insertion on electrophilic sites is controlled by the synergistic effect of ligands and acids instead of the size of the ligand. Similarly, nucleophilic site selectivity at N1 or N2 of indazoles is governed by cooperative acid BF3 and solvent iPrOH rather than BF3 alone. Overall, our findings might open a new avenue for designing more efficient regioselective 1,2- or 4,3-addition or N1-/N2-selective nucleophilic reactions.

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
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
Ni-catalyzed enantioselective hydrofunctionalizations of conjugated dienes are particularly demanding reactions to devise because they require not only addressing the inherent challenges associated with the development of an enantioselective transformation but also overcoming all other aspects of selective catalysis (chemoselectivity, regioselectivity, diastereoselectivity, etc.). However, the value-added nature of the chiral allylic and homoallylic derivatives obtained by these methods, the lack of efficient alternatives, and the use of an earth-abundant first-row transition metal have led to renewed interest over the past decade. In this Perspective, we give an overview of the developments in this field, from the original findings (often dating back to the last century) to the most recent contributions. Emphasis is placed on the nature of the hydrofunctionalization agent (C(sp), C(sp2), C(sp3), N, P, or O).

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
The origins of regioselectivity in Ni-catalyzed alkene hydrofunctionalizations were computationally investigated by using energy decomposition analysis. The results indicate the Markovnikov selectivity with aryl-substituted alkenes is favored due to the stabilizing charge transfer effect, and the anti-Markovnikov selectivity with alkyl-substituted alkenes is favored because of the destabilizing Pauli repulsion effect.

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
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
The enantioselective hydroarylation of vinylarenes catalyzed by a chiral, non-racemic nickel catalyst is presented as a facile method to generate chiral 1,1-diarylethanes. These reactions proceed via formation of a chiral, non-racemic nickel benzyl intermediate. Transmetalation with arylboron nucleophiles and subsequent reductive elimination enable the formation of a variety of chiral 1,1-diarylethanes. The 1,1-diarylethane products from reactions of arylboronic acids containing electron-donating substituents are formed with typically greater than 90% ee, while the 1,1-diarylethanes generated from reactions of arylboronic acids containing electron-withdrawing groups are generated with typically less than 80% ee. These results are consistent with the rate of transmetalation with an arylboron nucleophile playing a key role in the enantioselectivity of these hydroarylation reactions. This mechanistic insight has led to the development of reactions of neo-pentylglycolate esters of arylboronic acids with vinylarenes that occur with higher enantioselectivities based on increased rates of transmetalation.
