The Real Role of N-Heterocyclic Carbene in Reductive Functionalization of CO: An Alternative Understanding from Density Functional Theory Study.

The mechanisms of reductive functionalization of CO toformamide catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) were comprehensively studied with DFT calculations. New activation mode with much lower energy barrier than those proposed before was discovered. In this reaction, NHC acts as neither a CO nor a...
