摘要 |
The present invention is directed to a catalyst composition, comprising a Group 8 metal; and a ligand having a structure selected from the group consisting of: wherein R, R' and R'' are selected from the group consisting of H, a 1-10 carbon moiety, OR1, and NR2R3, wherein R1, R2, and R3 are each individually a 1-10 carbon moiety, with the proviso that one of R, R', or R'' is not H, and that R, R', and R'' together do not form an adamantyl moiety; and wherein L is selected from the group consisting of a 1-30 carbon moiety with a tertiary carbon bound to phosphorous The present invention is also directed to a method of forming carbon-carbon, carbon-oxygen, carbon-sulfur, and carbon-nitrogen bonds between substrates using the above catalysts.
