Herein, we report a new method for the C−N cross‐coupling of primary imines by using an inexpensive air‐stable nickel catalyst. This procedure allows for a subsequent in situ reaction with moisture‐sensitive reagents. In this study, we also report secondary [2+2] cycloaddition and alkylation reactions. A diverse range of substrates were explored to highlight the usefulness of this combination of reactions. The reaction products from the cycloaddition pathway, through a Staudinger reaction, have potential applications as β‐lactam antibiotics.
