Abstract

The diverse functionalization of 1,3-butadiene provides wide applicability toward the synthesis of abundant and useful allylic compounds. Here, we describe a three-component and redox-neutral assembly of readily available C═X compounds, 1,3-butadiene, and various nucleophiles by merging photoredox and nickel catalysis, enabling the rapid synthesis of structurally diverse homoallyl amines and homoallylic alcohols.
