Abstract

Multichiral diphosphite ligands enable a regio-, chemo-, and enantioselective nickel-catalyzed hydrocyanation of 1,3-dienes. In addition to aryl-substituted 1,3-dienes, highly challenging aliphatic 1,3-diene substrates can also be converted to the corresponding 1,2-adducts with high enantioselectivities.
