Abstract

Nickel(0)-promoted carboxylation of N-allenylamides (allenamides) with carbon dioxide proceeded via a nickelalactone intermediate to give β-amino acid derivatives. It was also found that the regioselectivity at the oxidative addition stage was strongly affected by the substituents on the allene part.
