Summary:This paper highlights Ni-catalyzed allylation of electron-rich aryl bromides with a variety of substituted allylic carbonates using zinc as the terminal reductant, affording E -alkenes regioselectively in good to excellent yields by the addition of aryl to the less hindered allylic carbon. The electron-deficient aryl bromides and chlorides are also highly efficient coupling partners. This work features a broad substrate scope of aryl halides and the first asymmetric version of reductive coupling of two electrophiles.
