Ni(II) complexes containing chiral tridentate phosphines as new catalysts for the hydroamination of activated olefins.
Ni(II) complexes containing chiral tridentate ferrocenyl phosphines(Ni(PPP)) have been found to efficiently catalyse the hydroamination of activated olefins with both anilines and aliphatic amines at r.t. (TON up to 71, TOF up to ca. 3 h-1, and enantioselectivities up to 69% ee).
