Abstract
Enantioselective intramolecular arylcyanation of olefins is achieved by a Ni(cod)2/chiral phosphinoxazoline/AlMe2Cl catalyst to give chiral, substituted indoline derivatives bearing a benzylic quaternary stereocenter in high yields with good to excellent enantioselectivities.
Key words

References and Notes
General Experimental Procedure: An aryl cyanide (0.50 mmol) and a solution of AlMe2Cl (1.04 M in hexane, 0.20 mL, 0.20 mmol) were added sequentially to a solution of Ni(cod)2 (13.8 mg, 50 µmol) and a ligand (50 µmol) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (0.50 mL) prepared in a 3 mL vial under an argon atmosphere in a dry-box. The vial was sealed with a screw-cap, taken outside the dry-box and heated at 100 ˚C for the time specified Table [¹] . The resulting mixture was filtered through a silica gel pad, concentrated in vacuo, and purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel to give the corresponding arylcyanation products in the yields listed in Table [¹]
