Nickel(0)-catalyzed dimerization of ethyl cyclopropylideneacetates.
The dimerization of ethyl cyclopropylideneacetates proceeded in the presence of Ni(0) catalysts, and cyclic compounds or linear compounds were formed in selective manners. The structures of products were highly dependent on the structure of the substrate and the ligands bound to the catalyst. The mechanism of the reactions was discussed in detail.
