This manuscript describes the development of Ni/dcype-catalyzed enolate dance/coupling reaction of alkenyl pivalates with nucleophiles, resulting in cine-substitution. Pivalates derived 1-tetralone undergo this reaction, to produce C2-functionalized dihydronaphthalenes. The direct utilization of 1-tetralone is also feasible, employing Piv2O to generate the corresponding enol pivalate in situ. Mechanistic investigations including stoichiometric experi-ments, suggest that the reaction proceeds via C–O oxidative addition, nickel 1,2-translocation, and subsequent cou-pling with a nucleophile.
