We report a remote functionalization strategy, which allows the <i>Z</i>-selective synthesis of silyl enol ethers of (hetero)aromatic and aliphatic ketones via Ni-catalyzed chain walking from a distant olefin site. The positional selectivity is controlled by the directionality of the chain walk and is independent of thermodynamic preferences of the resulting silyl enol ether. Our mechanistic data indicate that a Ni<sup>(I)</sup> dimer is formed under these conditions, which serves as a catalyst ...[more]
