Alkene hydroarylation forms carbon-carbon bonds between two foundational building blocks of organic chemistry: olefins and aromatic rings. In the absence of electronic bias or directing groups, only the Friedel-Crafts reaction allows arenes to engage alkenes with Markovnikov selectivity to generate quaternary carbons. However, the intermediacy of carbocations precludes the use of electron-deficient arenes, including Lewis basic heterocycles. Here we report a highly Markovnikov-selective, dual-catalytic olefin hydroarylation that tolerates arenes and heteroarenes of any electronic character. Hydrogen atom transfer controls the formation of branched products and arene halogenation specifies attachment points on the aromatic ring. Mono-, di-, tri-, and tetra-substituted alkenes yield Markovnikov products including quaternary carbons within nonstrained rings.

Reductive cross-coupling allows the direct C-C bond formation between two organic halides without the need for preformation of an organometallic reagent. A method has been developed for the reductive cross-coupling of nonaromatic, heterocyclic bromides with aryl or heteroaryl bromides. The developed conditions use an air-stable Ni(II) source in the presence of a diamine ligand and a metal reductant to allow late-stage incorporation of saturated heterocyclic rings onto aryl halides in a functional-group tolerant manner.
