Abstract
We describe a nickel-catalyzed carbonylative cross-coupling of unactivated secondary alkyl electrophiles with the organozinc reagent at atmospheric CO gas, thus allowing the expedient construction of unsymmetric dialkyl ketones with broad functional group tolerance. The leverage of a newly developed NN2-pincer type ligand enables the chemoselective three-component carbonylation by overcoming the competing Negishi coupling, the undesired β-hydride elimination, and dehalogenation of alkyl iodides side pathways. Both alkyl iodides and alkyl tosylates are compatible in the single electron transfer involved mechanism.

Abstract
Herein, we report a general and practical nickel-catalyzed deaminative alkylation of Katritzky salts with cyclopropyl alcohols via merging C-N and C-C bond activation. This protocol enables the formation of an alkyl-alkyl bond along with the generation of a versatile ketone functional group in a single operation, thus providing a convenient approach for accessing β-alkyl ketones. This reaction is distinguished by its high functional group tolerance, broad substrate scope, and efficient late-stage derivatization of complex bioactive molecules.

Abstract
The direct utilization of amines for C-C bond formation without prefunctionalization remains a significant challenge. Herein, we report the base-promoted deaminative coupling of gramines with aminomalaimides under redox-neutral conditions. In this operationally simple reaction, a series of indolmethyl-substituted aminomaleimides that emitted fluorescence were synthesized in good-to-excellent yields. Biological evaluation revealed that some products exhibited antiproliferative activity against human cancer cell lines.

Abstract
We have developed an efficient Cu/N,N-bidentate imine ligand catalytic system for C(sp3)-C(sp) coupling to obtain internal alkynes, di/trisubstituted allenes and strained bridged cyclic lactams in moderate to excellent yields from readily available alkyl(benzyl) bromides in one-pot transformation. Density Functional Theory (DFT) assisted mechanistic study along with control experiments support the involvement of bialkynylated copper species which undergo single electron transfer (SET) with alkyl halides to generate radical intermediate in the reaction. The N,N-bidentate imine ligand plays a vital role in stabilization of intermediate copper complex and facilitates the product formation.

Abstract
Herein, we disclose a general and practical iminoarylation of alkenes by nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling of unsaturated oxime esters with readily available aryl halides, providing an expedient approach for constructing pyrroline derivatives. The absence of organometallic reagents enables the reaction to occur under mild conditions with a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance. Moreover, other C-based electrophiles, including alkenyl, alkynyl and alkyl halides, or pseudohalides, were also competent substrates for this reaction.
