The nickel-catalyzed reductive cleavage of esters in the absence of an external reductant, which involves the cleavage of an inert acyl C-O bond in O-Alkyl esters is reported. Various groups, such as N-containing heterocycles, esters, amides, and even arene rings can function as a directing group.

A one-pot synthesis of chiral C(3)-substituted phthalides via an indium-mediated allylation/transesterification reaction is described. The development of this reaction was facilitated through the applied use of DFT calculations to rationalize the stereoselection of a chiral In-mediated process. It was discovered that the enantiomeric excess of this reaction depended upon the steric size, chain length, and substitution of the aldehyde employed.
