A nickel-catalyzed decarbonylative silylation, borylation, and amination of amides
has been developed. This new methodology allows the direct interconversion of amides
to arylsilanes, arylboronates, and arylamines and enables a facile route for carbon–heteroatom
bond formations in a straightforward and mild fashion.
Key words
