The utility of these ligands, particularly one with fluorinated aryl side arms, is demonstrated by a reductive Ni‐catalyzed enantioselective alkylidene transfer reaction from 1,1‐dichloroalkenes to olefins. This transformation provides direct access to a broad range of synthetically valuable alkylidenecyclopropanes in high yields and enantioselectivities.alkylidene transferasymmetric catalysiscyclopropanesnaphthyridine diimine (NDI) ligandsnickeltext::journal::journal article::research article
