Abstract A highly regioselective hydroaminomethylation of terminal olefins catalyzed by Rh complexes with 2, 2′, 6, 6′-tetrakis ((diphenylphosphino) methyl)-1, 1′-biphenyl (Tetrabi) ligand has been developed. Up to 99% amine selectivity, 168 linear/branched amine product ratio (n/i), and 97.4% linear amine yield has been obtained at a substrate/rhodium precursor ratio (S/Rh) of 1000 with this methodology. The turnover number was achieved ...
