Nickel(ii)/Lewis acid catalysed olefin hydroamination and hydroarylation under mild conditions

the amino-Ni(II)/LA attacking the carbocation intermediate which was generated by the protonation of the olefin, whereas for acrylonitrile and acrylates, it proceeded by a direct amino-Ni(II)/LA attack on the olefin by nucleophilic addition. In addition, the hydroarylation product was generated by the Hofmann-Martius rearrangement of the hydroamination product.
