This manuscript describes the first practical benzylic dehydrogenation of electron-deficient heteroarenes, including pyridines, pyrazines, pyrimidines, pyridazines, and triazines. This transformation allows for the efficient benzylic oxidation of heteroarenes to afford heterocyclic styrenes by the action of nickel catalysis paired with

We herein disclose the first report of a first-row transition metal-catalyzed α,β-dehydrogenation of carbonyl compounds using allyl-nickel catalysis. This development overcomes several limitations of previously reported allyl-palladium-catalyzed oxidation, and is further leveraged for the development of an oxidative cycloalkenylation reaction
The use of allyl-palladium catalysis for the one-step α,β-dehydrogenation of ketones via their zinc enolates is reported. The optimized protocol utilizes commercially available Zn(TMP)2 as base and diethyl allyl phosphate as oxidant. Notably, this transformation operates under salt-free conditions and

This report demonstrates the possibility of a nickel-catalyzed difunctionalization of unactivated alkenes initiated by an unstabilized enolate nucleophile. The process tolerates a diverse range of electrophiles, including aryl, heteroaryl, alkenyl, and amino electrophiles. An electron-deficient phosphine ligand and a tetrabutylammonium
