“…The first reports involve the use of Zn­(OTf) 2 in [C 2 C 1 Im]­[CF 3 SO 3 ] using n -heptane as nonpolar phase (entries 1 and 2, Table ). , The catalytic activity for hydroamination of alkenes by metal complexes is much higher in [C 4,4,4,4 P]­[Br] than in THF . Complexes of the type [Ni­(PPP)­(solvent)]­[X] 2 containing ferrocenyl tridentate ligands in imidazolium and picolinium ILs catalyze the asymmetric hydroamination of acrylonitrile derivatives with aliphatic amines with yields up to 99% and ee ’s up to 69% …”
