Abstract

Treatment of acetonitrile (1 equiv.) with n-butyllithium (0.95 equiv.) followed by chlorodiphenylphosphine (0.95 equiv.) under optimised reaction conditions gave a ca. 60% yield of bis(diphenylphosphino)acetonitrile (dppmCN, 1). The bidentate ligand was employed in the synthesis of the four-membered chelate metal complexes (dppmCN)MCl2 [M = Pd (6a), Pt (6b)] and (dppmCN)RuCp*(Cl) (7). A very active catalyst for bromobenzene/phenylboronic acid Suzuki–Miyaura coupling was in situ generated by treatment of Pd(OAc)2 with bis(diphenylphosphino)acetonitrile [TOF (1 h) >600000].
