title: Rational design of efficient rhodium catalysts for the anti-Markovnikov oxidative amination of styrene.
abstract: Cationic rhodium(I) complexes containing the flexible hemilabile phosphine ligand (3-ethoxypropyl)diphenylphosphine efficiently catalyzed the anti-Markovnikov oxidative amination of styrene in tetrahydrofurane at 80 degrees C to produce (E)-1-styrylpiperidine with turnover frequencies up to 75 h(-1) with excellent enamine selectivity (96%).
