STERICALLY HINDERED CHELATE PHOSPHINITE-PHOSPHITE LIGAND, CATALYST, COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE NICKEL(0) COMPLEX STABILIZED BY SAID LIGAND AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF NITRILES

摘要

The invention relates to phosphinite phosphites I of formula 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 and mixtures thereof, wherein R1, R2, R4 independently represent an alkyl or alkylene group with 1 to 8 carbon atoms, provided that at least one of the groups R1, R2, R4 is different from H; R5 to R22 independently represent H, an alkyl or alkylene group with 1 to 8 carbon atoms; R3 is H, methyl or ethyl; X is F, Cl or CF3, if n = 1 or 2 and X is H, if n = 0.
