Nickel catalyzes the multicomponent coupling reaction of terminal alkenes, carbon dioxide, and organoaluminum reagents, leading to the synthesis of homoallylic alcohols in moderate-to-good yields with excellent regio- and stereoselectivities.

palladium-catalyzed intermolecular Heck-type reaction of both cyclic and acyclic epoxides is reported with tolerance of typical polar groups and acidic protons. Suitable alkenes include styrenes, conjugate dienes, and some electron-deficient olefins. In reactions of aliphatic terminal epoxides, ring opening occurs selectively at terminal positions, and stereocenters of epoxides are fully retained. Mechanistic studies
