Nickel-catalyzed enantioselective reductive vinyl-alkynylation of unactivated alkenes with bromoalkynes

Alkynyl groups are highly valuable functionalities, prompting chemists to continually seek efficient alkynylation reactions. Traditional asymmetric alkynylation strategies using terminal alkynes often rely on complex chiral phosphine ligands, stoichiometric amounts of silver reag...
