First documented over a century ago, conjugate additions are among the most utilized organic reactions. In carbon–carbon bond-forming variants, the nucleophile is typically organometallic. Earlier technology employed enolate, organolithium, Grignard, or organocopper reagents; more recently, organozinc and organoboron compounds have enhanced this transformation significantly.[1, 2] Despite increased functional group tolerance, an organometallic or an organometalloid compound is nonetheless required in these powerful methods. Herein we describe a novel conjugate addition reaction in which a simple, unactivated alkene (ethylene, an α-olefin, or styrene) takes the place of the organometal reagent [Eq.(1)]. Thus, although an alkene is not an alkenylmetal reagent per se, it functions as one in this carbon–carbon bond-forming process.Catalyzed polymerization of alkenes is one of the most important industrial processes,[3] and Ni-catalyzed two-alkene coupling reactions have also received significant attention, including hydrovinylation.[4] Montgomery and co-workers found that nickel complexes catalyze a wide variety of conjugate addition reactions,[5] but the closest precedent to
