Highly efficient nickel-catalyzed 2-methyl-3-butenenitrile isomerization: Applications and mechanistic studies employing the TTP ligand family

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/om200164f

A series of sterically and electronically fine-tuned, chelating diphosphine ligands were synthesized. The ligands are analogues of Triptyphos (TTP, 1), all based upon a variably 9,10-two-carbon-bridged 9,10-dihydroanthracene scaffold. These new TTP-type l
