Abstract

An efficient nickel-catalyzed regioselective hydroarylation of 1,3-dienes with aryl halides and a silane has been developed, affording a range of allylic arenes in good to excellent yields under mild conditions. This method exhibits broad substrate scope, and excellent functional group tolerance. Late-stage modification of complex architectures was demonstrated.
