M. Kranenburg et al., EFFECT OF THE BITE ANGLE OF DIPHOSPHINE LIGANDS ON ACTIVITY AND SELECTIVITY IN THE NICKEL-CATALYZED HYDROCYANATION OF STYRENE, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (21), 1995, pp. 2177-2178
The application of diphosphines with large bite angles (beta(n) = 101-
109 degrees) in nickel catalysts leads to successful, regioselective h
ydrocyanation of styrene.
