title: Nickel-catalyzed asymmetric negishi cross-couplings of secondary allylic chlorides with alkylzincs.
abstract: Complementing previous advances in allylation chemistry, an effective nickel/Pybox catalyst for regioselective asymmetric Negishi cross-couplings of racemic secondary allylic chlorides with readily available organozinc halides has been developed. The method has been applied in two key steps of a formal total synthesis of fluvirucinine A1.
