Rhodium-catalysed aryl transfer to aldehydes: counterion effects with nitrogen containing ligands

Cationic rhodium complexes of certain nitrogen-containing ligands exhibit excellent activity in the addition of arylboronic acids to aldehydes. The counterion had a notable effect with the weakly coordinating carborane anion affording a highly active catalyst. © 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights...
