Nickel-catalysed P–C bond formation via P–H/C–CN cross coupling reactions†
Abstract
Nickel-catalysed P–H/C–CN cross coupling reactions take place efficiently under mild reaction conditions affording the corresponding sp2C–P bonds. This transformation provides a convenient method for the preparation of arylphosphines and arylphosphine oxides from the readily available P–H compounds and arylnitriles.
