a

2 eq. of 3; 1.2 eq. of Me3SiZnI·TMEDA 2b (0.56 M in toluene, 1.19 mmol); 10 mol% Ni(OAc)2·4H2O; 10 mol% dtbpy; 1,2-dimethoxy ethane (0.17 M).

b

NMR yield.

c

A decarbonylative byproduct was observed.

d

Dimerization of 3 to a diketone was observed.

e

Ni(COD)2 (10 mol%) instead of Ni(OAc)2·4H2O.

f

Decomposition on silica was observed.

g

Conditions: 2 eq. of 3, 1eq. of PhMe2SiZnI·TMEDA (0.71 M in toluene), 20 mol% of CuI, 1 eq. of LiCl, 1,2-dimethoxy ethane (0.15 M overall concentration), 0 °C – rt.

h

6 mmol of 2b was employed.

i

10 mol% Ni(OAc)2·4H2O, 10 mol% 1,10-phen, 20 mol% of CuI was added.
