The regioselectivities of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands in Ni-catalyzed alkyne-aldehyde reductive coupling reactions with silane reducing agents are investigated using density functional theory. Reversal of regioselectivity can be achieved by varying the steric bulkiness of the ligand. The steric influences of NHC ligands are highly anisotropic. Regioselectivity is primarily controlled by the steric hindrance at the region of the ligand close to the alkyne. Analysis of 2D contour maps of the NHC ligands indicates that the regioselectivities are directly affected by the shape and orientation of the N-substituents on the ligand.
