Nickel(0)-catalysed synthesis of unsaturated carboxylic acid anilides from ethene and phenyl isocyanate
Abstract
The first metal-catalysed synthesis of unsaturated carboxylic acid anilides from ethene and phenyl isocyanates is described; depending on the ligand, temperature, and pressure the anilides of crylides of acrylic and n-pentenoic acid can be formed selectively.
