Abstract
Hydroaminomethylation of 1-octene and piperidine has been carried out using a pyrrole-substituted phosphine ligand (see Scheme; L), giving extremely high activities (TOF6200 h-1) and selectivities (linear/branched ratios>200). Acidic alcohols in the solvent mixture lead to higher activities but lower selectivities, whereas less acidic alcohols give extraordinarily good selectivities.
