We disclose a transmetalation-initiated Ni(I)-catalyzed regioselective <i>β,δ</i>-vinylarylation of <i>γ,δ</i>-alkenyl <i>α</i>-cyanocarboxylic esters with vinyl triflates and arylzinc reagents. This reaction proceeds via contraction of six-membered nickellacycles to five-membered nickellacycles to form carbon-carbon bonds at the nonclassical homovicinal sites, and it provides expeditious access to a wide range of complex aliphatic <i>α</i>-cyanoesters, <i>α</i>-cyanocarboxylic acids, dicarboxyl ...[more]
