title: Ni-catalyzed direct reductive amidation via C-O bond cleavage.
abstract: A novel Ni-catalyzed reductive amidation of C(sp(2))-O and C(sp(3))-O electrophiles with isocyanates is described. This umpolung reaction allows for an unconventional preparation of benzamides using simple starting materials and easy-to-handle Ni catalysts.
