α-Amidation of carbonyl-containing compounds without prefunctionalization of starting materials represents a continuing challenge within the scientific community. Here, nickelocene is used catalytically to effect an amidation of β-keto esters. Broad substrate tolerance on both coupling partners is achieved, enabling the application toward a convergent synthetic strategy. Initial mechanistic investigations suggest complex activation pathways.
在不预先官能化起始原料的情况下对含羰基化合物进行α-酰胺化,仍然是科学界面临的一项挑战。在此,二茂镍被用于催化β-酮酯的酰胺化反应。该反应对两种偶联底物都具有广泛的耐受性,从而能够应用于汇聚式合成策略。初步的机理研究表明存在复杂的活化途径。
