additions of arylboronic acids to alkynes, followed by enantioselective
cyclizations of the alkenylnickel species onto tethered ketones or
enones, are reported. These reactions are reliant upon the formal anti-carbonickelation of the alkyne, which is postulated
to occur by the reversible E/Z isomerization
of an alkenylnickel species.
