title: Nickel-catalyzed addition of C-H bonds of terminal alkynes to 1,3-dienes and styrenes.
abstract: The C-H bond of a terminal alkyne adds to a carbon-carbon double bond of 1,3-dienes, styrenes, and norbornene at room temperature in the presence of a nickel catalyst in regio- and stereoselective manners. Reaction of triisopropylsilylacetylene with 1-substituted 1,3-butadiene derivatives afforded hydroalkynylation products via introduction of a hydrogen atom and a triisopropylsilylethynyl group to 4- and 3-positions of the dienes, respectively. Likewise, 1-triisopropylsiloxy-1,3-butadiene, 1,3-pentadiene, 1-cyclohexen-1-yl-1,3-butadiene, and 1,3-cyclohexadiene underwent the hydroalkynylation reaction, giving the corresponding 1,4-enyne derivatives in good yields at room temperature. Reaction of p-substituted styrene with triisopropylsilylacetylene also proceeded in the presence of the nickel catalyst, giving the branched hydroalkynylation products in good yields. Norbornene gave a exo-addition product in good yield under the same reaction conditions.
