The synthesis of metal complexes with bioligands is one option to introduce chirally defined ligands to catalysts. Herein, the hydration of nitriles to the corresponding carboxamides by use of ruthenium(II) complexes is described, which were obtained by attaching derivatives of the 3,5,6-bicyclophosphite-alpha-D-glucofuranoside ligand.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
