The nickel-catalyzed [2 + 2] annulations of electron-deficient allenes proceed efficiently in a highly regioselective manner under very mild conditions to give the head-to-head cyclodimerization products, bismethylenecyclobutanes, as single isomers in good to fair yields. We also carried out the stoichiometric reaction of these allenes in the presence of Ni(0) complexes and elucidated the mechanism of this highly selective reaction.

Controlling the behavior of terminal alkynes in metal-catalyzed intermolecular tandem reactions is a formidable challenge despite the potential advantage offered by these strategies in modern synthesis. Herein, we describe that a nickel catalyst enables a tandem process involving the rapid dimerization of terminal alkynes into 1,3-enynes and the cycloaddition of these intermediates with an azetidinone, an oxetanone or benzocyclobutenones. Significantly, the slow or sequential addition of reagents and catalysts is not required to orchestrate their reactivity. These results are in stark contrast with previous cycloadditions of terminal alkynes with strained four-membered ring substrates, which previously led to oligomerization or cyclotrimerization, except in the case of tert-butylacetylene.

Reactions of the nickel(0) compound NiL4 (L = PPh3) with alkyl halides RX involve initial inner-sphere halogen atom abstraction from the alkyl halides to form alkyl radicals R· and halonickel(I) metalloradical species NiX(PPh3)2,3. The radical pairs then undergo combination within the solvent cage to give the square planar nickel(II) compounds NiRX(PPh3)2. Radical intermediacy is demonstrated persuasively by observations that the relative rates vary in the orders tert-butyl > sec-butyl > n-butyl and RI > RBr > RCl, while density functional theory calculations indicate that the radical mechanism provides a lower energy pathway than do alternative, more conventional pathways. The product of the reaction of Ni(PPh3)4 with methyl iodide, NiMeI(PPh3)2, decomposes in solution to ethane and NiI(PPh3)2,3, but when RX = EtI, n-BuI, sec-BuI, tert-BuI, the alkyl-nickel products undergo rapid β-hydrogen elimination to give the hydride NiHI(PPh3)2 plus the corresponding alkene(s). Reactions also occur in which a portion of the alkyl radicals diffuses from the solvent cage and abstracts hydrogen from NiHI(PPh3)2 to form alkanes RH and Ni(I) species NiI(PPh3)2. As a result, NiHI(PPh3)2 is invariably a minor product while the major products are alkanes RH, alkenes R-H, and NiI(PPh3)2. Hydride NiHI(PPh3)2 is found to decompose to H2 and NiI(PPh3)2 but is stable at low temperatures where it exhibits unusual NMR behavior because of exchange involving free PPh3 and the bis- and trisphosphine species, NiHI(PPh3)2 and NiHI(PPh3)3. Present in all of the reactions are paramagnetic, substitution-labile Ni(I) metalloradical species. As a result, resonances of PPh3, ethylene, and the smaller iodoalkenes are generally broad and shifted because of exchange between free and coordinated ligands.
