The homogeneous transfer hydrogenation of benzonitrile with 2-propanol or 1,4-butanediol produced <i>N</i>-benzylidene benzylamine (BBA, 85% yield) using 5 mol % [Ni(COD)<sub>2</sub>] as a catalytic precursor and a mixture of Cy<sub>2</sub>P(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>PCy<sub>2</sub> and Cy<sub>2</sub>P(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>P(O)Cy<sub>2</sub> as ancillary ligands, under mild reaction conditions (120 °C, 96 h, tetrahydrofuran). 1,4-Butanediol performed better than 2-propanol as a hydrogen d ...[more]
