  • BIS(PHOSPHINE)-CARBODICARBENE CATALYST COMPLEXES AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20170029453
    Abstract: An organometallic complex of a tridentate bis(phosphine)-carbodicarbene ligand and a transition metal, is described. In some embodiments the ligand has the structure of Formula (I): The complexes are useful in methods of making an allylic amine carried out by reacting a 1,3-diene with a substituted amine in the presence of such an organometallic complex to produce by intermolecular hydroamination the allylic amine.
