Abstract

A regio- and stereoselective nickel-catalyzed three-component coupling reaction of aldehydes, 1,3-dienes, and alkenylzirconium reagents was realized. The ligand- and additive-free protocol afforded a convenient approach to the synthesis of skipped diene compounds bearing various functionals (e.g., hydroxyl, carbonyl, halide) and heterocyclic groups. The products were readily transformed into structurally diverse polyenes. The utility of this reaction was also demonstrated by the one-pot operation and scale-up preparation.
