The direct oxidative cross‐coupling of phenols is a very challenging transformation, as homo‐coupling is usually strongly preferred. Electrochemical methods circumvent the use of oxidizing reagents or metal catalysts and are therefore highly attractive. Employing electrolytes with a high capacity for hydrogen bonding, such as methanol with formic acid or 1,1,1,3,3,3‐hexafluoro‐2‐propanol, a direct
Monophosphites having an unsymmetric biaryl structure and metal complexes thereof are provided. The metal complex compositions are useful as hydroformylation catalysts. The metals of the complex include Rh, Ru, Co and Ir. A method of hydroformylation using the metal complex or the metal complex components is also provided.
