Nickel-catalyzed hydro- and deuteroacylation of acrylates using water as the hydrogen source
Ivo H. Lindenmaier, Fabian Bölzle, Ivana FleischerWe report a mechanochemical approach for hydroacylation of acrylates using thioesters and water under nickel catalysis. Mechanistic studies indicate that an ionic pathway involving a Ni(
i
)/Ni(
iii
) catalytic cycle is likely operative.
