Abstract

Abstract Starting from [{Rh (cod) Cl} 2] and 1, 3-dimesitylimidazole-2-ylidenes the novel [RhCl (cod)(carbene)] complexes 1–5 have been synthesized, characterized, and tested in the hydroaminomethylation of aromatic olefins. The influence of different ligands and reaction parameters on the catalytic activity was investigated in detail applying 1, 1- diphenylethylene and piperidine as a model system. The scope and limitations of the ...
