Abstract

The hydrovinylation of arylethylenes catalyzed by [Ni (MeCN) 6][BF4] 2/AlEt2Cl/PPh3 was modulated to obtain 3-aryl-1-butenes in high yields and selectivities. A wide variety of arylethylenes containing electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups and Lewis basic group, can be hydrovinylated at room temperature and under mild conditions by changing the relative ratios of the three-component catalyst. Similar activities and selectivities were ...
