Insertion of unsaturated systems such as alkynes and olefins into unactivated sp3 C-H bonds remains an unexplored problem. We herein address this issue by successfully incorporating a wide variety of functionalized alkynes and electron-deficient olefins into the unactivated sp3 C-H bond of pivalic acid derivatives with excellent syn- and linear- selectivity. A strongly chelating 8-aminoquinoline directing group proved beneficial for these insertion reactions, while an air-stable and inexpensive NiII salt has been employed as the active catalyst.

The use of aryl acrylates in the Baylis-Hillman reaction is reported. In contrast to their alkyl counterparts these acrylates react very rapidly with aldehydes, often yielding cyclic products arising from reaction of the initial adduct with a second molecule of aldehyde.
