Nickel-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl halides using carbamoylsilane as an amide source

Abstract

The nickel-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl halides using carbamoylsilane as an amide source is developed. The procedure can prepare both tertiary and secondary amides, and is applicable to various carbamoylsilanes and aryl halides containing different functional groups. The types and the relative position of substituents on the aryl ring impact the coupling efficiency.
