Abstract: Substrates that possess an a,b-unsaturated carbonyl
tethered to an alkyne have been utilized in a variety of nickel-catalyzed
processes. Depending on ligand structure, reagent structure, reaction
conditions, and workup conditions, several different monocyclic and
bicyclic ring systems may be accessed from a common substrate. Evidence
for a nickel metallacycle as a common intermediate is provided.
