Enantioenriched 1,4-dienes are versatile building blocks in asymmetric synthesis, therefore their efficient synthesis directly from chemical feedstock is highly sought after. Here, we show an enantioselective cross-hydroalkenylation of cyclic 1,3-diene and hetero-substituted terminal olefin by using a chiral [NHC-Ni(allyl)]BAr<sup>F</sup> catalyst. Using a structurally flexible chiral C<sub>2</sub> NHC-Ni design is key to access a broad scope of chiral 1,4-diene 3 or 3' with high enantioselectiv ...[more]
