We report a ligand-controlled nickel-catalyzed reductive hydroarylation of styrenes with predictable and controllable regioselectivity. With a diamine ligand, the reaction produces selective linear hydroarylation products. Alternatively, with a chiral PyrOx ligand, branch-selective enantioenriched 1,1-diarylalkane products are obtained. Preliminary mechanistic results are consistent with a reductive Heck process.

苯乙烯的镍催化区域发散还原加氢芳基化

我们报告了一种配体控制的镍催化苯乙烯还原加氢芳基化，具有可预测和可控的区域选择性。使用二胺配体，该反应产生选择性线性氢化芳基化产物。或者，使用手性 PyrOx 配体，获得分支选择性对映体富集的 1,1-二芳基烷烃产物。初步机械结果与还原 Heck 过程一致。
