Ni‐Catalyzed Regioselective Hydroarylation of 1‐Aryl‐1,3‐Butadienes with Aryl Halides

Abstract An efficient nickel‐catalyzed regioselective hydroarylation of 1,3‐dienes with aryl halides and a silane has been developed, affording a range of allylic arenes in good to excellent yields under mild conditions. This method exhibits broad substrate scope, and excellent functional group tolerance. Late‐stage modification of complex architectures was demonstrated.
