Isopropyl diarylphosphinites (Ar2POPri) catalyse the dimerisation of acrylonitrile (AN) to a mixture of cis- and trans-1,4-dicyanobut-1-ene (cis,trans-DCB-1), trans-1,4-dicyanobut-2-ene (DCB-2) and 2,4-dicyanobut-1-ene (MGN). The kinetics and mechanism of the reaction, which is a potential source of hexamethylenediamine, are reported in detail and the factors which govern rate and selectivity to DCB-1 and DCB-2 rather than MGN are elaborated.
The Kinetics and Mechanism of the Reactions of Acyclic Trico-ordinate Phosphorus Compounds with Diethyl Peroxide

The kinetics of the reactions of acyclic phosphinites, phosphonites, and phosphines with diethyl peroxide in benzene or acetonitrile as solvent are reported together with the activation parameters for phosphinites and phosphonites and Hammett ρ values for all three types of trico-ordinate phosphorus.The data reveal a bimolecular, non-polar transition state for each reaction with ρ values are virtually independent of the nature of the trico-ordinate phosphorus species.
