Abstract

Carbon-carbon bond forming reaction is arguably the most important type of bond construction in organic chemistry; yet, paucity of methods for the stereoselective incorporation of abundantly available carbon feedstocks such as CO, CO2, HCN, or simple olefins to prochiral substrates is one of the major limitations in this area.1 One potentially important class of such reactions is the cationic [Ni-H]+-catalyzed olefin dimerization reaction.2,3 There had been only limited success in finding an enantioselective variation of this reaction partly because of the competing oligomerization of starting olefins and isomerization of the primary products (eq 1). In this paper we report our initial
