Ligand for catalyst or pre-catalyst and method of forming C(SP2)-N bond

摘要

A compound having a chemical formula according to Formula (I) is disclosed where one of Z₁, Z₂ and Z₃ is and one of the Z₁, Z₂, and Z₃ that is bonded to a carbon atom that is adjacent to the carbon atom bonded to is P(AR₁)(A′R₂). Metal-based catalyst and pre-catalysts, such as nickel-based catalysts and precatalysts, where the metal is complexed to the compound are also disclosed. Methods of forming C(sp2)-N bonds are also disclosed.
