Abstract

Nickel-Catalyzed Reductive Arylation of Activated Alkynes with Aryl Iodides. -The title reaction proceeds with high regio-and stereoselectivity to provide (E)--aryl alkenoates as major products. Aryl iodides (IIh) and (IIi) also give significant amounts of -addition products. -(DORN, S. C. M.; OLSEN, A. K.; KELEMEN, R. E.; SHRESTHA, R.; WEIX*, D.
