Construction of Polysubstituted Olefins through Ni‐Catalyzed Direct Activation of Alkenyl CO of Substituted Alkenyl Acetates

Reliable companion: For the first time cross-coupling between alkenyl acetates and arylboroxines/PhZnCl has been developed via Ni catalysis. Alkenyl acetates could be well-differentiated from aryl acetates (see scheme). This reliable method provides a convenient pathway to construct polysubstituted styrene derivatives.
