Abstract
Water enables the alkylation of aldehydes with trialkylboranes under nickel catalysis without the addition of a base. Trialkylboranes prepared from borane‐dimethyl sulfide and terminal olefins via hydroboration as well as commercially available trialkylboranes could be employed for the reaction. The reaction would proceed via η2‐coordinated nickel complexes with aldehydes as the key intermediates.
