Computational Study of Mechanism and Thermodynamics of Ni/IPr-Catalyzed Amidation of Esters

Nickel catalysis has shown remarkable potential in amide C–N bond activation and functionalization. Particularly for the transformation between ester and amide, nickel catalysis has realized both the forward (ester to amide) and reverse (amide to ester) reactions, allowing a powerful appro...
