Abstract

The nickel(1) complex, Ni(teta) +, formed by cathodic reduction of the corresponding nickel(11) complex, reacts rapidly with alkyl bromides to form an unstable intermediate containing a nickelcarbon bond. When the electrolysis medium also contains an activated olefin an insertion reaction occurs. The new metalcarbon bond is cleaved by further reduction and overall the reduction of Ni(teta) 2+ in the presence of RBr and CH 2CHY leads to high yiels of RCH 2CH 2Y.
