✦ Synopsis
Activated nickel, produced by the ultrasound-promoted reduction of nickel iodide with lithium, catalyzes the 1,4 addition of phenylsilane to ct, 13-unsaturated ketones and ct, 13 -unsaturated nitriles to give, after hydrolysis, high yields of the products of 1, 2 hydrogenation.

## Abstract Under optimized conditions, a variety of ketones undergo asymmetric 1,2‐reductions almost exclusively instead of the normally observed 1,4‐reductions in the presence of in situ‐generated CuH which is ligated with an optically active bisphosphane ligand.
