This document discusses nickel-catalyzed organic reactions for synthesis, including the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling, enantioselective reductive carbo-acylation of alkenes, and carbonylative Sonogashira reaction. It also mentions nickel-catalyzed Kumada-Tamao-Corriu cross coupling and redox-neutral carbo-acylation. These reactions allow for difunctionalization of alkenes and asymmetric dicarbofunctionalization of tethered alkenes using nickel catalysis.
