Abstract
A cross-hydroalkenylation/rearrangement cascade (HARC), using a cyclopropene and alkyne as substrate pairs, was achieved for the first time by using new [(NHC)Ni(allyl)]BArF catalysts (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbenes). By controlling the (NHC)NiII H relative insertion reactivity with cyclopropene and alkyne, a broad scope of cyclopentadienes was obtained with highly selectively. The structural features of the new (NHC)NiII catalyst were important for the success of the reaction. The mild reaction conditions employed may serve as an entry for exploring (NHC)NiII -assisted vinylcyclopropane rearrangement reactivity.
