Recycling of Carbon and Silicon Wastes: Room Temperature Formylation of N-H Bonds Using Carbon Dioxide and Polymethylhydrosiloxane
A highly active organocatalytic system based on N-heterocyclic carbenes has been designed for the formylation of N-H bonds in a large variety of nitrogen molecules and heterocycles, using two chemical wastes: CO2 and polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS).
