Catalytic utility of bimetallic (pincer) PNN based nickel complex in the synthesis of quinolines and α-alkylation of ketones

Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of a bipincer nickel complex containing bipyridine-based bisphosphine and its catalytic application in quinoline synthesis and α-alkylation of ketones. The reaction of [2,2-{C5H3N-3-N(H)C(O)C6H4PPh2-o}2]...
