摘要：

What is the active nucleophile in the alkaline hydrolysis of formamide: the hydroxide ion or a water molecule in its first solvation shell? To allow the two mechanisms in question to be distinguished, a 2D free-energy surface was computed (see picture) using Car-Parrinello metadynamics simulation. The results show that direct nucleophilic attack by a hydroxide ion is the preferred mechanism. (Figure Presented). © 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH &. Co. KGaA.
