Abstract

Abstract: The addition of a-olefins to conjugated dienes is accomplished by a catalyst derived from the interaction of bis (tri-n-butylphosphine) nickel (II) chloride with diisobutylaluminum chloride. The primary products are linear 1, 4-dienes. The catalyst affords trans-and cis-l, 4-hexadiene and 3-methyl-l, 4-pentadiene from ethylene and butadiene. The specificity in the formation of 1, Cdiene position isomers in the reactions of ...
