The regioslective reduction of electron‐rich dienes to monoolefins and the reductive cleavage of allyl esters were fulfilled by employing a sodium borohydride‐nickel chloride‐methanol catalytic system with exceedingly simple manipulations and high functional group tolerability. Both of the reductive reactions may involve π‐allylnickel intermediates generated from fresh nickel boride.
