Metal homoenolates are valuable synthetic intermediates which provide access to β-functionalized ketones. In this report, we disclose a Ni-catalyzed β-alkylation reaction of cyclopropanol-derived homoenolates using redox-active N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) esters as the alkylating reagents. The reaction is compatible with 1°, 2°, and 3° NHPI esters. Mechanistic studies imply radical activation of the NHPI ester and 2e β-carbon elimination occurring on the cyclopropanol.
