摘要: Despite being one of the most important and frequently run chemical reactions, synthesis amide bonds is accomplished primarily by wasteful methods that proceed stoichiometric activation starting materials. We report a nickel-catalyzed procedure can enable diverse amides to be synthesized from abundant methyl ester materials, producing only volatile alcohol as waste product. In contrast acid- base-mediated amidations, reaction proposed neutral cross coupling-type mechanism, opening up new opportunities for direct, efficient, chemoselective synthesis.
