Herein, we report Ni-catalyzed intramolecular carboacylation of imides containing a tethered alkene and tetraarylborate nucleophiles. Using a nickel-phosphine catalyst system, α-substituted, γ-amino ketones are generated in up to 92% yield with site selectivity. Deprotection and cyclization of the γ-amino ketone product afforded a cyclic imine in 71% yield, and a stereoselective reduction formed the β-substituted, δ-amino alcohol in 66% yield with 2.3:1 d.r. and 94% ee (major diastereomer).
