Catalyst for hydroformylation of alkenes with CO/H2 at atmospheric pressure to give enals: Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 34, 1760 (1995).
Miyaura has utilized this complex, in combination with a chelating phosphine ligand, for the conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to enones, to give saturated ketones: Organometallics, 16, 4339 (1997). Addition of aryl- and alkenylboronic acids to aldehydes to give secondary alcohols can also be brought about under similar conditions: Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 37, 3279 (1998).
An extension of these reactions to the addition of potassium alkenyl- and aryltrifluoroborates to aldehydes and enones has also been reported: Org. Lett., 1, 1683 (1999).
