A two-step sequence for the enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of exclusively alkyl-substituted acyclic allylic systems with a stereocenter in the allylic position is reported. The asymmetric induction and the site selectivity are controlled in an enantio- and regioconvergent nickel-catalyzed C(sp3 )-C(sp3 ) cross-coupling of regioisomeric mixtures of racemic α-/γ-silylated allylic halides and primary alkylzinc reagents. The silyl group steers the allylic displacement towards the formation of the vinylsilane regioisomer, and
