The synthesis and characterization of a novel class of ionic phosphites bearing either a single cationic group obtained by quaternization of aminophosphites or three cationic groups prepared by reaction of phosphorus trichloride with imidazolium phenols are reported. The catalytic hydrocyanation reaction of 3‐pentenenitrile (3PN) into adiponitrile has been performed in the presence of Ni(0) with ionic phosphite ligands, and a Lewis acid in biphasic ionic liquid/organic solvent system. The screening of several original cationic phosphites was performed and the experimental conditions were optimized for the tri‐cationic phosphite tris‐4‐[(2,3‐dimethylimidazol‐1‐yl)methyl]phenyl phosphite tris[bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide]. It is possible to obtain performance similar to molecular systems and the catalyst and the Lewis acid were immobilized in the ionic phase.
