Abstract
New homochiral xantphos-type diphosphonite ligands with binaphthoxy substituents have been prepared and characterized by NMR spectroscopy. These ligands have been applied in the nickel-catalyzed hydrocyanation of styrene and other vinylarenes. Enantioselectivities up to 63% ee have been obtained by using 4-isobutylstyrene as a substrate. Addition of an excess of ligand strongly inhibits the hydrocyanation reaction since the bis-chelate nickel complexes formed are highly stable and catalytically inactive.Entities:
