title: Nickel-catalyzed reductive allylation of aryl bromides with allylic acetates.
abstract: This paper highlights Ni-catalyzed allylation of electron-rich aryl bromides with a variety of substituted allylic carbonates using zinc as the terminal reductant, affording E-alkenes regioselectively in good to excellent yields by the addition of aryl to the less hindered allylic carbon. The electron-deficient aryl bromides and chlorides are also highly efficient coupling partners.
