Transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric cyclization of 1,6-enynes is a powerful tool for the construction of chiral nitrogen-containing heterocycles, but limiting to the use of aryl or alkenyl metal reagents. Here, the authors report Ni-catalyzed enantioselective anti-arylative cyclization and enantiospecific cis-alkylative cyclization of 1,6-enynes.
