title: Palladium-catalysed regioselective addition reaction of ethyl phenylphosphinate with terminal acetylenes: ligand- and solvent-dependent regioselectivity.
abstract: Palladium-1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane complex catalyses regioselective Markovnikov addition of ethyl phenylphosphinate to terminal alkynes in toluene, while the use of tri-tert-butylphosphine as the ligand or ethanol as the solvent leads to regioselectivity reversal.
