An asymmetric tail-to-tail cross-hydroalkenylation of vinylarenes with terminal olefins was achieved by catalysis with NiH complexes bearing chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs). The reaction provides branched gem-disubstituted olefins with high enantioselectivity (up to 94% ee) and chemoselectivity (cross/homo product ratio: up to 99:1). Electronic effects of the substituents on the vinylarenes and on the N-aryl groups of the NHC ligands, but not a π,π-stacking mechanism, assist the steric effect and influence the outcome of the cross-hydroalkenylation.
Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene and toluene with olefinic C6 hydrocarbons and esters

To assist our study of the reaction of toluene and other aromatic compounds with methyl oleate and other olefinic esters, benzene and toluene have been alkylated under Friedel-Crafts conditions with hex-1-ene, hex-3-ene, methyl hex-3-enoate and methyl hex-3-enedioate. The products were isolated and identified by NMR and mass spectrometric procedures.
