Mechanistic Evaluation of the Ni(IPr)2-Catalyzed Cycloaddition of Alkynes and Nitriles to Afford Pyridines: Evidence for the Formation of a Key η1-Ni(IPr)2(RCN) Intermediate
{{output}}
A detailed mechanistic evaluation of the Ni(IPr)2-catalyzed [2+2+2]-cycloaddition of diynes and nitriles was 2 conducted. Through kinetic analysis of these reactions, observed regioselectivities of the products, and stoichiometric reactions, Ni(IPr)2-catalyzed... ...
