Abstract

Abstract Cationic rhodium (I) complexes with P, O-functionalised arylphosphine ligands are efficient catalysts for the regioselective anti-Markovnikov oxidative amination of styrene with piperidine. The mechanism of the catalytic reaction has been investigated by spectroscopic means under stoichiometric and catalytic conditions. In the presence of piperidine, the catalyst precursor [Rh {κ 2-P, O-Ph 2 P (CH 2) 3 OEt} 2]+(5) gave the piperidine complex [ ...
