Condensation of nitriles with amides promoted by coordinatively unsaturated bis-nickel(II)-hydroxy complex: a new route to alkyl- and aryl-imidoylamidines.
A pentacoordinate bis(mu-hydroxy) nickel dimer promotes formation of alkyl- and aryl-imidoylamidines from nitriles and ureas or amides under mild conditions.
