A general nickel-catalyzed highly regioselective hydroarylation of unactivated alkenes enabled by the picolinamide auxiliary

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Dec 6;58(97):13511-13514. doi: 10.1039/d2cc04932e.

Abstract

A practical method for regioselective hydroarylation of unactivated γ- or δ-vinyl alkylamines has been reported, enabling facile preparation of highly value-added ε- or ζ-aryl alkylamines. The protocol employs nickel catalysis, shows high functional group tolerance and can be used for modifying bio-related molecules.
