A. Wegner et W. Leitner, Nickel-catalysed enantioselective hydrovinylation of styrenes in liquid orsupercritical carbon dioxide, CHEM COMMUN, (16), 1999, pp. 1583-1584
Compressed (liquid or supercritical) CO2 is an environmentally benign react
ion medium for the highly efficient regio-, chemo- and enantio-selective ni
ckel-catalysed hydrovinylation of styrenes and it allows for catalyst recyc
ling and selective removal of the product from the reaction mixture.
