S. Hinojosa et al., A catalytic version of a nickel promoted intramolecular tandem cyclization-cyanation process, TETRAHEDR L, 40(5), 1999, pp. 1057-1060
A catalytic version of the intramolecular Ni-promoted tandem cyclization-cy
anation process is described. Generally, the reaction leads to mixtures of
cyclic and open chain adducts in moderate to good yields. The presence of e
xternal bidendate nitrogen ligands, although not essential for the reaction
outcome, provides stability to the catalytic system. (C) 1999 Elsevier Sci
