Despite their prevalence in organic synthesis, the application of boronic acids (BAs) as alkyl radical precursors in visible-light-assisted photocatalyzed reactions has been limited by their high oxidation potential. This study demonstrates the prominent
Nickel-Catalyzed Hydrogenolysis and Conjugate Addition of 2-(Hydroxymethyl)pyridines via Organozinc Intermediates

2-Hydroxymethylpyridines undergo nickel-catalyzed hydrogenolysis upon activation with a chlorophosphate. Reactions employ diethylzinc and are proposed to proceed through secondary benzylzinc reagents. Quenching with deuteromethanol provides straightforward incorporation of a deuterium label in the benzylic position. Intramolecular conjugate additions with α,β-unsaturated esters are also demonstrated and support the intermediacy of a benzylzinc complex.
