W. Goertz et al., APPLICATION OF CHELATING DIPHOSPHINE LIGANDS IN THE NICKEL-CATALYZED HYDROCYANATION OF ALK-1-ENES AND OMEGA-UNSATURATED FATTY-ACID ESTERS, Chemical communications, (16), 1997, pp. 1521-1522
The hydrocyanation of alk-1-enes and omega-unsaturated fatty acid este
rs using zerovalent nickel complexes yields the corresponding nitriles
and cyanoesters, which can be useful starting materials in organic sy
nthesis.
