title: Nickel-catalysed hydroalkoxylation reaction of 1,3-butadiene: ligand controlled selectivity for the efficient and atom-economical synthesis of alkylbutenyl ethers.
abstract: The nickel-catalysed hydroalkoxylation of butadiene is promoted by a nickel(0)/dppb catalyst (dppb = 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane; see scheme). By following this new synthetic procedure, alkylbutenyl ethers are readily obtained from an alcohol and 1,3-butadiene with exclusion of dimerisation and telomerisation products.
