Abstract
We report a nickel/NHC-catalyzed branched-selective α-crotylation of simple ketones using 1,3-butadiene as the alkylation agent. This reaction is regioselective and operated under pH and redox-neutral conditions. Water was used as the sole additive, which significantly accelerates the transformation.
