Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The preparation of reaction mixtures is conducted under an inert atmosphere, for example, in a nitrogen-filled dry box. 70 mg (0.38 mmol) styrene oxide, 88 mg (0.76 mmol) Et3SiH and 20 mg (0.018 mmol) of the catalyst [Ni(NPtBu3)]4 are dissolved in 6 mL toluene. The solution is transferred into a Teflon-sealed glass reactor equipped with a Teflon-sealed magnetic stir bar. The reaction mixture is then stirred at 1200 rotations per minute (rpm) for 12 hours in an oil bath at 90° C.
