Abstract

The use of ligands to adjust the catalytic activity of the catalyst for esterification of amides is challenge in organic chemistry. In this paper, Nickel(II)-NHC-catalyzed the esterification reaction between N,N-di-Boc amide and alcohols at room temperature have been demonstrated. The imidazolium salt bearing a hydroxyl functionalized side arm showed high effective catalytic activity in the activation of the amide N–C bond in air atmosphere.
