Reductive Coupling of Acrylates with Ketones and Ketimines by a Nickel ‐Catalyzed Transfer‐Hydrogenative Strategy

AngewchemReductive Coupling of Acrylates with Ketones and Ketimines by a Nickel ‐Catalyzed Transfer‐Hydrogenative Strategy: Nickel ‐catalyzed coupling of benzyl acrylates with activated ketones and imines provides γ‐butyrolactones and lactams, respectively. The benzyl alcohol byproduct released during the lactonization/lactamization...
