Acceleration Effects of Phosphine Ligands in the Nickel Catalyzed Methylation of Aldehydes Using Trimethylaluminum

Abstract
A nickel catalyzed methylation of aldehydes was conducted successfully using trimethylaluminum as an alkylation reagent. In the presence of a phosphine or phosphite ligand, the reaction was considerably accelerated to give the methylation product in good yields.
