The highly linear-selective hydroaminomethylation of styrenes is very challenging. Herein, an efficient, highly chemoselective, and linear-selective hydroaminomethylation (l/b up to >99:1) of styrenes using Rh(nbd)2SbF6 with a pyrrole-based 3,3′,5,5′-substituted tetraphosphorus ligand is documented. This is in sharp contrast to other available processes leading to branched amines and provides a novel
That's just silyl! Selective nickel‐catalyzed reductiveamination of aldehydes under hydrosilylation conditions is achieved by using a one pot, two step procedure. By using an in situ‐generated catalyst (5 mol %) from Ni(OAc)2 and tricyclohexylphosphine with tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS) as the hydrosilane at 70 °C, the corresponding secondary amines were obtained in moderate to good isolated yields
