Oxidative cyclization with transition metals is an efficient method for the simultaneous construction of one carbon–carbon and two carbon–metal bonds, and a variety of catalytic reactions involving the oxidative cyclization of two p components with a transition metal have been reported to date. For example, a hetero-nickelacycle derived from an alkyne and an aldehyde, ketone, or imine is known to play an important role as a key intermediate in two types of catalytic reactions,[1–3] namely the formation of allyl alcohols or allyl amines by reaction of a hetero-nickelacycle with alkylmetal compounds or reducing reagents [1, 2] and the formation of a pyran by reductive elimination from seven-membered oxa-nickelacycles generated by the insertion of a second alkyne into a nickeladihydrofuran.[3] A 1, 2-dihydropyridine is also a possible product of the [2+ 2+ 2] cycloaddition of two alkynes and an imine (Scheme 1), although no such reaction has yet been reported. The formation of aza-nickelacycles might prove to be key to the success of this reaction, although thus far only two nickelacycles containing a nitrogen atom have been reported.[4, 5] Recently we reported the formation of oxanickelacycles by the oxidative cyclization of aldehydes or ketones and an unsaturated carbon–carbon bond with nickel (0),[6] therefore the formation of an aza-nickelacycle from an imine and an alkyne seemed to be the next logical step. Herein we report the formation of a five-membered azanickelacycle—a nickelapyrroline—by the oxidative cyclization of an imine and an alkyne with nickel (0). The insertion of a second alkyne into this ring to give a seven-membered azanickelacycle—a nickeladihydroazepine—followed by reductive elimination to give a 1, 2-dihydropyridine, as well as the catalytic application of these reactions, are also discussed. The reaction of N-(benzenesulfonyl) benzaldimine (1) with 2-butyne (1 equiv) in the presence of [Ni (cod) 2](cod= 1, 5-cyclooctadiene) and PCy3(Cy= cyclohexyl) at room temperature for 10 min gives an inseparable mixture of a nickelapyrroline (2a), a nickeladihydroazepine (3a), and an h2-iminenickel complex (4; Scheme 2). The addition of an additional equivalent of 2-butyne (total 2equiv) to this reaction mixture generates 3a, the molecular structure of which was determined by X-ray crystallography (Figure 1), as the sole product in 95% yield.[7] The coordination of oxygen
