The mechanism of nickel-catalyzed, silane-mediated reductive cyclization of ynals has been evaluated. The cyclizations are first-order in [Ni] and [ynal] and zeroth-order in [silane]. These results, in combination with the lack of rapid silane consumption upon reaction initiation, are inconsistent with mechanisms involving reaction initiation by oxidative addition of Ni(0) to the silane. Silane consumption occurs only when both the alkyne and aldehyde are present. Mechanisms involving rate-deter ...[more]
