Addition‐elimination reactions of an arylaluminum reagent with vinylarenes is achieved mediated by a rhodium catalyst. The reaction of dimethyl(phenyl)aluminum with a rhodium(I) catalyst takes place to afford ( E )‐stilbene. The reaction is promoted by the addition of ketone as an additive to give ( E )‐stilbene in a quantitative yield. A nickel complex bearing cyclopentadienyl (Cp) and N ‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands also catalyzes the reaction to afford 1,2‐diarylethenes accompanied by a small amount of the saturated byproduct, 1,2‐diarylethanes.
