RajanBabu has developed an asymmetric protocol for the heterodimerization of vinylarenes<br />

and ethene. [159] The use of Hayashi s novel, weakly chelating phosphine 91 is critical<br />

to the success of this asymmetric reaction (Scheme 68). 1,6-Dienes (e.g., 92) also undergo<br />

direct cycloisomerization in the presence of bis[allyl(bromo)nickel] to afford methylenecyclopentane<br />

products (e.g., 93; Scheme 69). The scope of the intramolecular process<br />

allows preparation of a variety of carbocyclic and heterocyclic ring systems. A reaction<br />

mechanism involving in situ generation of a nickel hydride catalyst, alkene hydrometalation,<br />

cyclization, and â-hydride elimination has been proposed. [160]<br />
