title: Ni-catalyzed asymmetric reductive allylation of aldehydes with allylic carbonates.
abstract: This work features first asymmetric Ni-catalyzed reductive coupling of allylic carbonates with aldehydes, which may proceed via allyl-Ni intermediates although Zn was used as the terminal reductant. Moderate to excellent enantiomeric excess was obtained with excellent functional group tolerance.
