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 elect...
