Abstract Because internal alkenes are more challenging synthetic targets than terminal alkenes, metal‐catalyzed olefin mono‐transposition (i.e., positional isomerization) approaches have emerged to afford valuable E ‐ or Z‐ from their complementary alkene feedstocks. However, the applicability of these methods has been hampered by lack generality, commercial availability precatalysts, and scalability. Here, we report a nickel‐catalyzed platform for stereodivergent / Z ‐selective synthesis at room temperature. Commercial reagents enable this one‐carbon transposition ‐internal via Ni−H‐mediated insertion/elimination mechanism. Though mechanistic regime is same in both systems, underlying pathways that lead each active catalysts distinct, with catalyst forming comproportionation an oxidative addition complex followed substrate protonation metal trialkylphosphonium salt additive. In case, ligand sterics denticity control stereochemistry prevent over‐isomerization.

Transition metal catalyzed alkene double bond transposition usually involves hydride intermediates. Despite significant advances in the design of catalysts that dictate product selectivity, control over substrate selectivity is less advanced and transition selectively transpose bonds substrates containing multiple 1-alkene functionalities are rare. Herein, we report three-coordinate high spin (S = 2) Fe(II) imido complex [Ph2B(tBuIm)2Fe═NDipp][K(18-C-6)THF2] (1-K(18-C-6)) catalyzes 1,3-proton transfer from to afford 2-alkene products. Mechanistic investigations involving kinetics, competition, isotope labeling studies, supported by experimentally calibrated DFT computations, strongly support an unusual nonhydridic mechanism for enabled cooperative action iron center basic ligand. As dictated pKa allylic protons, this catalyst enables regioselective C═C 1-alkenes. The state allows a wide scope functional groups be tolerated, including those typical poisons, such as amines, N-heterocycles, phosphines. These results demonstrate new strategy metal-catalyzed with predictable regioselectivity.
