The nickel-catalyzed enantioselective addition of allylboronic acid pinacol ester, allylB(pin), is described. This reaction is highly effective with dialkylidene ketones and favors the allylation of the benzylidene site in nonsymmetric substrates. The rea

Conjugate addition of pinacolato(allyl)boron to benzylidenealkylidene ketones is remarkably facile when catalyzed by Ni(0) and Pd(0) complexes. Simple enones are inert to the reaction conditions, suggesting a significant activating effect by the auxiliary benzylidene unit. A comparison of different catalysts and substrates is provided, as is a mechanistic rationale, and an example of asymmetric catalysis. Copyright
