Conditions: 1 (0.375 mmol), 2 (0.25 mmol), and EtOH (2.5 mL), at rt, unless otherwise noted; yields of the isolated products are reported; the ee values were determined by chiral HPLC analysis. For 3a, 3c, 3o, and 3s: Ni(COD)2 (5 mol%) and L8 (5.5 mol%) were used; for the others: Ni(COD)2 (10 mol%) and L8 (11 mol%) were used.
