Nickel/Bis(oxazoline)-Catalyzed Asymmetric Kumada Reactions of Alkyl Electrophiles: Cross-Couplings of Racemic alpha-Bromoketones

The first asymmetric Kumada reactions of alkyl electrophiles are described, specifically, cross-couplings of racemic α-bromoketones with aryl Grignard reagents. Several features of this investigation are of interest. First, the couplings proceed at remarkably low temperature (−40 or −60 °C), which e...
