The synthesis and characterization of a novel class of ionic phosphites bearing either a single cationic group obtained by quaternization of aminophosphites or three cationic groups prepared by reaction of phosphorus trichloride with imidazolium phenols are reported. The catalytic hydrocyanation reaction of 3-pentenenitrile (3PN) into adiponitrile has been performed in the presence of Ni(0) with ionic phosphite ligands, and a Lewis acid in biphasic ionic liquid/organic solvent system. The screening of several original cationic phosphites was performed and the experimental conditions were optimized for the tricationic phosphite tris-4-[(2,3-dimethylimidazol-1-yl) methyl]phenyl phosphite tris[bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide]. It is possible to obtain performance similar to molecular systems and the catalyst and the Lewis acid were immobilized in the ionic phase.
