Diverse catalytic reactivity of a dearomatized PN3P*-nickel hydride pincer complex towards CO2 reduction

Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 Oct 9;54(81):11395-11398. doi: 10.1039/c8cc05948a.

Abstract

A dearomatized PN3P*-nickel hydride complex has been prepared using an oxidative addition process. The first nickel-catalyzed hydrosilylation of CO2 to methanol has been achieved, with unprecedented turnover numbers. Selective methylation and formylation of amines with CO2 were demonstrated by such a PN3P*-nickel hydride complex, highlighting its versatile functions in CO2 reduction.
