In this work, the reaction mechanisms of Ni<sup>(0)</sup>-catalyzed asymmetric hydroalkylation of phenylbutadiene and acetophenone are systematically investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The Ni<sup>(0)</sup>/Ni<sup>(II)</sup> catalytic cycle comprises oxidative addition, proton transfer, and the C(sp<sup>3</sup>)─C(sp<sup>3</sup>) bond formation via reductive elimination. The rate-determining oxidative addition step proceeds via a concerted ligand-to-ligand hydrogen transfer (LLHT) mechanism, bypassing an unstable Ni<sup>(II)</sup>-hydride intermediate. Proton transfer occurs via a ligand exchange with the enolate group within the acetophenone, and the regioselectivity arises from the preferential C(sp<sup>3</sup>)-C(sp<sup>3</sup>) bond formation via reductive elimination at the methyl-adjacent carbon in the acetophenone. Furthermore, the electron population analysis on the rate-determining transition state demonstrates that charge transfer from the Ni<sup>(0)</sup>-ligand moiety to the ─O<sup>+</sup>H σ* and ─C═C─π* antibonding orbitals facilitates the weakening of the ─O<sup>+</sup>H bond and η<sup>2</sup>-coordination of ─C═C─ bond in phenylbutadiene with the nickel center, enabling the LLHT mechanism.
