A nickel-catalyzed isocyanide insertion reaction with aromatic amines: direct access to open-chain guanidines.

Herein, a nickel-catalyzed isocyanide insertion reaction with aromatic amines under open-air conditions is disclosed. A number of open-chain guanidines are successfully synthesized in moderate to good yields and their structures are confirmed by X-ra…
