title: Kinetic and Theoretical Studies on Ni0/N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed Intramolecular Alkene Hydroacylation.
abstract: A combined kinetic and theoretical study was conducted in order to clarify the details on the reaction mechanism for Ni0/ItBu-catalyzed intramolecular alkene hydroacylation. The results confirm the hypothesis that this intramolecular hydroacylation proceeds through an oxanickelacycle key intermediate.
