The nitrile self-condensation reaction promoted by nickel (II) hydroxy dimer 1, [Ni2(tBuDPA)2(µ-OH)2] (tBuDPA = bis-(2-methylpyridine)tert-butylamine), is used for the efficient synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical IDAs. A variety of nitriles with differing physical and electronic properties are proficient at the production of IDAs.
