Synthesis of 1,4-enynes was performed via nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of allylic alcohols with alkynylzinc reagents. The reaction features high regio- and E/Z-selectivity when aryl-substituted allylic alcohols were employed. The method also exhibits a wide scope of substrates and good compatibility of functional groups.
