| Nickel(0) complexes are known to react with imines in the presence of CO2 to form five-membered nickelacycles. The long-term aim of our research is to obtain highly functionalized heterocycles from such nickelacycles via Ni-C insertion reactions, followed by reductive elimination. During the course of these investigations, we discovered that imines can be coupled with amines/aldehydes in the presence of Ni(0), CO2, and a Lewis acid to produce useful 5-membered heterocycles (e.g., imidazolidine and/or triazolidine derivatives). We have already shown that CO2 and the Lewis acid play an important role in this novel chemistry. |
