- A Mild Heteroatom (O -, N -, and S -) Methylation Protocol Using Trimethyl Phosphate (TMP)-Ca(OH) 2Combination
-
A mild heteroatom methylation protocol using trimethyl phosphate (TMP)-Ca(OH)2combination has been developed, which proceeds in DMF, or water, or under neat conditions, at 80 °C or at room temperature. A series of O-, N-, and S-nucleophiles, including phenols, sulfonamides, N-heterocycles, such as 9H-carbazole, indole derivatives, and 1,8-naphthalimide, and aryl/alkyl thiols, are suitable substrates for this protocol. The high efficiency, operational simplicity, scalability, cost-efficiency, and environmentally friendly nature of this protocol make it an attractive alternative to the conventional base-promoted heteroatom methylation procedures.

- Process Development of the Copper(II)-Catalyzed Dehydration of a Chiral Aldoxime and Rational Selection of the Co-Substrate
-
The access towards chiral nitriles remains crucial in the synthesis of several pharmaceuticals. One approach is based on metal-catalyzed dehydration of chiral aldoximes, which are generated from chiral pool-derived aldehydes as substrates, and the use of a cheap and readily available nitrile as co-substrate and water acceptor. Dehydration of N-acyl α-amino aldoximes such as N-Boc-l-prolinal oxime catalyzed by copper(II) acetate provides access to the corresponding N-acyl α-amino nitriles, which are substructures of the pharmaceuticals Vildagliptin and Saxagliptin. In this work, a detailed investigation of the formation of the amide as a by-product at higher substrate loadings is performed. The amide formation depends on the electronic properties of the nitrile co-substrate. We could identify an acceptor nitrile which completely suppressed amide formation at high substrate loadings of 0.5 m even when being used with only 2 equivalents. In detail, utilization of trichloroacetonitrile as such an acceptor nitrile enabled the synthesis of N-Boc-cyanopyrrolidine in a high yield of 92 % and with full retention of the absolute configuration.

The first mild, in situ, single-pot, high-yielding well-screened copper (II) salt-based catalyst system utilizing the hydrogen surrogacy of sodium borohydride for selective hydrogenation of a broad range of nitro substrates into the corresponding amine under habitancy of water or methanol like green solvents have been described. Moreover, this catalytic system can also activate various functional groups for hydride reduction within prompted time, with low catalyst-loading, without any requirement of high pressure or molecular hydrogen supply. Notably, this system explores a great potential to substitute expensive traditional hydrogenation methodologies and thus offers a greener and simple hydrogenative strategy in the field of organic synthesis.

- Manganese-Pincer-Catalyzed Nitrile Hydration, α-Deuteration, and α-Deuterated Amide Formation via Metal Ligand Cooperation
-
A simple and efficient system for the hydration and α-deuteration of nitriles to form amides, α-deuterated nitriles, and α-deuterated amides catalyzed by a single pincer complex of the earth-abundant manganese capable of metal-ligand cooperation is reported. The reaction is selective and tolerates a wide range of functional groups, giving the corresponding amides in moderate to good yields. Changing the solvent from tert-butanol to toluene and using D2O results in formation of α-deuterated nitriles in high selectivity. Moreover, α-deuterated amides can be obtained in one step directly from nitriles and D2O in THF. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest the transformations contributing toward activation of the nitriles via a metal-ligand cooperative pathway, generating the manganese ketimido and enamido pincer complexes as the key intermediates for further transformations.

Transformation of relatively less reactive functional groups under catalyst-free conditions is an interesting aspect and requires a typical protocol. Herein, we report the synthesis of various primary, secondary, and tertiary amines through hydroboration of amides using pinacolborane under catalyst-free and solvent-free conditions. The deoxygenative hydroboration of primary and secondary amides proceeded with excellent conversions. The comparatively less reactive tertiary amides were also converted to the corresponding N,N-diamines in moderate yields under catalyst-free conditions, although alcohols were obtained as a minor product.

Ni-deposited mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride (Ni-mpg-CNx) is introduced as an inexpensive, robust, easily synthesizable and recyclable material that functions as an integrated dual photocatalytic system. This material overcomes the need of expensive photosensitizers, organic ligands and additives as well as limitations of catalyst deactivation in the existing photo/Ni dual catalytic cross-coupling reactions. The dual catalytic Ni-mpg-CNx is demonstrated for C–O coupling between aryl halides and aliphatic alcohols under mild condition. The reaction affords the ether product in good-to-excellent yields (60–92 %) with broad substrate scope, including heteroaryl and aryl halides bearing electron-withdrawing, -donating and neutral groups. The heterogeneous Ni-mpg-CNx can be easily recovered from the reaction mixture and reused over multiple cycles without loss of activity. The findings highlight exciting opportunities for dual catalysis promoted by a fully heterogeneous system.

- Ruthenium(II) complexes bearing bidentate acylthiourea ligands for direct oxidation of amine α-carbon to amide
-
In this study, the synthesis and structural characterization of ruthenium complexes supported by S,O-acylthiourea ligands (L1-L6) with different substituent groups as well as auxiliary ligands PPH3, CO, and Cl and their evaluation as catalysts for direct oxidation of the α-methylene group in amines were reported. Ru(II) complexes, Ru1-Ru6, were prepared from the reaction of the RuH(CO)Cl(PPh3)3 precursor and ligands L1-L6 having different electronic and steric properties. The ligands and complexes prepared were characterized by FT-IR, 1H–13C- and/or 31P NMR spectroscopic techniques. The molecular structures of Ru1 and Ru3 complexes with appropriate crystal quality were also confirmed by X-ray single crystal analysis. Solid-state structures of Ru1 and Ru3 revealed that the ruthenium center is surrounded by one carbonyl, one chloride, two PPh3 ligands, and the S,O-donor atoms from the acylthiourea ligand in bidentate monoanionic form. The catalytic activity of all complexes for the α-oxygenation reactions of primary benzylic amines to amides was investigated. Overall, all catalysts exhibited excellent activity and selectivity towards the formation of amide production under the present reaction conditions. In addition, both catalyst activation and product selectivity/formation were particularly dependent on the amount/type of base and oxygen.

- Aerobic oxidation of primary amines to amides catalyzed by an annulated mesoionic carbene (MIC) stabilized Ru complex

Catalytic aerobic oxidation of primary amines to the amides, using the precatalyst [Ru(COD)(L1)Br2] (1) bearing an annulated π-conjugated imidazo[1,2-a][1,8]naphthyridine-based mesoionic carbene ligand L1, is disclosed. This catalytic protocol is distinguished by its high activity and selectivity, wide substrate scope and modest reaction conditions. A variety of primary amines, RCH2NH2 (R = aliphatic, aromatic and heteroaromatic), are converted to the corresponding amides using ambient air as an oxidant in the presence of a sub-stoichiometric amount of KOtBu in tBuOH. A set of control experiments, Hammett relationships, kinetic studies and DFT calculations are undertaken to divulge mechanistic details of the amine oxidation using 1. The catalytic reaction involves abstraction of two amine protons and two benzylic hydrogen atoms of the metal-bound primary amine by the oxo and hydroxo ligands, respectively. A β-hydride transfer step for the benzylic C-H bond cleavage is not supported by Hammett studies. The nitrile generated by the catalytic oxidation undergoes hydration to afford the amide as the final product. This journal is

- The polyhedral nature of selenium-catalysed reactions: Se(iv) species instead of Se(vi) species make the difference in the on water selenium-mediated oxidation of arylamines
-
Selenium-catalysed oxidations are highly sought after in organic synthesis and biology. Herein, we report our studies on the on water selenium mediated oxidation of anilines. In the presence of diphenyl diselenide or benzeneseleninic acid, anilines react with hydrogen peroxide, providing direct and selective access to nitroarenes. On the other hand, the use of selenium dioxide or sodium selenite leads to azoxyarenes. Careful mechanistic analysis and 77Se NMR studies revealed that only Se(iv) species, such as benzeneperoxyseleninic acid, are the active oxidants involved in the catalytic cycle operating in water and leading to nitroarenes. While other selenium-catalysed oxidations occurring in organic solvents have been recently demonstrated to proceed through Se(vi) key intermediates, the on water oxidation of anilines to nitroarenes does not. These findings shed new light on the multifaceted nature of organoselenium-catalysed transformations and open new directions to exploit selenium-based catalysis.

- Cubic CuxZrO100-x as an efficient and selective catalyst for the oxidation of aromatics active methyl, alcohol, and amine groups
-
The local structure of a supported active metal plays a vital role in determining the desired product's selectivity in heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, we have developed a simple protocol for the synthesis of Cu doped on cubic ZrO2 mixed metal oxide catalysts and used it for the selective oxidation of various functional groups. The catalyst was synthesized by varying the wt.% of Cu (1–20%) on ZrO2 by co-precipitation, followed by hydrothermal treatment. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the catalysts confirmed the formation of the cubic phase of ZrO2, and the growth of CuO occurred along the (1 1 1) plane. The microscopy analysis revealed the uniform distribution of Cu on the ZrO2 surface, while XPS analysis confirmed the presence of copper in the +2 oxidation state. The synthesized catalyst with 2 wt% loading of Cu on ZrO2 showed excellent liquid-phase oxidation properties and gave good to best conversion of active methyl groups, alcohols, and amines with high selectivities to corresponding ketones, aldehydes, and amides, respectively, under milder reaction conditions. Furthermore, the synthesized catalyst showed a broader substrate scope for the various substituted active methyl groups, alcohols, and amines with good conversion and selectivity.

- Product selectivity controlled by manganese oxide crystals in catalytic ammoxidation
-
The performances of heterogeneous catalysts can be effectively tuned by changing the catalyst structures. Here we report a controllable nitrile synthesis from alcohol ammoxidation, where the nitrile hydration side reaction could be efficiently prevented by changing the manganese oxide catalysts. α-Mn2O3 based catalysts are highly selective for nitrile synthesis, but MnO2-based catalysts including α, β, γ, and δ phases favour the amide production from tandem ammoxidation and hydration steps. Multiple structural, kinetic, and spectroscopic investigations reveal that water decomposition is hindered on α-Mn2O3, thus to switch off the nitrile hydration. In addition, the selectivity-control feature of manganese oxide catalysts is mainly related to their crystalline nature rather than oxide morphology, although the morphological issue is usually regarded as a crucial factor in many reactions.

In this research, a Cu(II) contained nano-silica triazine based dendrimer was prepared, characterized, and utilized as a retrievable catalytic system (Cu(II)-TrDen@nSiO2) for green formation of primary amides in water at room temperature. The structure of nanoparticles was fully characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and thermogravimetry analysis (TGA). The results revealed that the nanoparticles have spherical morphology and an average size of around 40 nm. The analysis also illustrated that the copper nanoparticles had been successfully loaded on the nitrogen-rich dendritic structure with a uniform distribution. The inductively coupled plasma analysis showed that about 0.67 mmol/g of Cu was loaded on the Cu(II)-TrDen@nSiO2 support. Mild reaction conditions, excellent yields, environment-friendly synthesis, and easily prepared starting materials are the key features of the present method. The catalyst is easily removed from the reaction media using a simple filtration and can be re-used at least five times without any considerable loss of its catalytic activity.

- A Molecular Iron-Based System for Divergent Bond Activation: Controlling the Reactivity of Aldehydes
-
The direct synthesis of amides and nitriles from readily available aldehyde precursors provides access to functional groups of major synthetic utility. To date, most reliable catalytic methods have typically been optimized to supply one product exclusively. Herein, we describe an approach centered on an operationally simple iron-based system that, depending on the reaction conditions, selectively addresses either the C=O or C-H bond of aldehydes. This way, two divergent reaction pathways can be opened to furnish both products in high yields and selectivities under mild reaction conditions. The catalyst system takes advantage of iron's dual reactivity capable of acting as (1) a Lewis acid and (2) a nitrene transfer platform to govern the aldehyde building block. The present transformation offers a rare control over the selectivity on the basis of the iron system's ionic nature. This approach expands the repertoire of protocols for amide and nitrile synthesis and shows that fine adjustments of the catalyst system's molecular environment can supply control over bond activation processes, thus providing easy access to various products from primary building blocks.

This protocol further expands the substrate scope to alkynes and simple alkyl benzenes for the preparation of amides and nitriles.

- N-(Hydroxybenzyl)benzamide Derivatives: Aqueous pH-Dependent Kinetics and Mechanistic Implications for the Aqueous Reactivity of Carbinolamides
-
The rate constants for the aqueous reaction, between pH 0 and 14, have been determined for a series of amide substituted N-(hydroxybenzyl)benzamide derivatives, in H2O, at 25 °C, I = 1.0 M (KCl). The N-(hydroxybenzyl)benzamide derivatives were found to react via three distinct mechanisms with the kinetically dominant mechanism being dependent on the pH of the reaction solution. It has been shown that the carbinolamides react via a specific-base-catalyzed mechanism (E1cB-like) under basic and pH neutral conditions. At lower pH values, an acid-catalyzed mechanism was kinetically dominant and, last, a water reaction was postulated at pH values where neither the hydroxide-dependent nor the general-acid-catalyzed mechanism was dominant. Contrary to earlier studies with N-(hydroxymethyl)benzamide compounds, no evidence for mechanistic variation based upon the nature of the amidic substituent was observed for any of the N-(hydroxybenzyl)benzamide derivatives studied between pH values of 0-14. The rate for the acid-catalyzed reaction (kH, ρ = -1.17), the apparent second-order hydroxide rate constant (k1′, ρ = 0.87), the hydroxide-independent rate (k1, ρ = 0.65), and the pKa's of the hydroxyl group of the carbinolamide (ρ = 0.23) are reported.

- Ru-based complexes as heterogeneous potential catalysts for the amidation of aldehydes and nitriles in neat water
-
Five novel heterogeneous mononuclear complex-anchored Ru(III) have been efficiently sono-synthesized and characterized by utilizing several analytical techniques. The assembled complexes could be utilized as effective, robust and recyclable (up to eight consecutive runs) catalysts for one-pot transformation of a vast array of nitriles and aldehydes to primary amides in H2O under aerobic conditions. Moreover, some unreported di- and tetra-amide derivatives were obtained also under the optimal conditions. The results of ICP/OES analysis demonstrated that there is no detected leaching of the recycled catalyst, which suggests the real heterogeneity of the present protocol. The present Ru-complexes exhibited superiority compared to other reported catalysts for amide preparation in terms of low catalyst load, short reaction time, low operating temperature, no hazardous additives required, and high values of TON (990) and TOF (1980 h11).

Three new arene-ruthenium(II) complexes were prepared by treating [{RuCl(μ-Cl)(η6-arene)}2] (η6-arene = p-cymene) dimer with tri(2-furyl)phosphine (PFu3) and 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA), respectively to obtain [RuCl2(η6-arene)PFu3] [Ru]-1, [RuCl(η6-arene)(PFu3)(PTA)]BF4 [Ru]-2 and [RuCl(η6-arene)(PFu3)2]BF4 [Ru]-3. All the complexes were structurally identified using analytical and spectroscopic methods including single-crystal X-ray studies. The effectiveness of resulting complexes as potential homogeneous catalysts for selective hydration of different nitriles into corresponding amides in aqueous medium and air atmosphere was explored. There was a remarkable difference in catalytic activity of the catalysts depending on the nature and number of phosphorus-donor ligands and sites available for catalysis. Experimental studies performed using structural analogues of efficient catalyst concluded a structural-activity relationship for the higher catalytic activity of [Ru]-1, being able to convert huge variety of aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic nitriles. The use of eco-friendly water as a solvent, open atmosphere and avoidance of any organic solvent during the catalytic reactions prove the reported process to be truly green and sustainable.

- Substrate Profiling of the Cobalt Nitrile Hydratase from Rhodococcus rhodochrous ATCC BAA 870
-
The aromatic substrate profile of the cobalt nitrile hydratase from Rhodococcus rhodochrous ATCC BAA 870 was evaluated against a wide range of nitrile containing compounds (>60). To determine the substrate limits of this enzyme, compounds ranging in size from small (90 Da) to large (325 Da) were evaluated. Larger compounds included those with a biaryl axis, prepared by the Suzuki coupling reaction, Morita–Baylis–Hillman adducts, heteroatomlinked diarylpyridines prepared by Buchwald–Hartwig crosscoupling reactions and imidazo[1,2a]pyridines prepared by the Groebke–Blackburn–Bienaymé multicomponent reaction. The enzyme active site was moderately accommodating, accepting almost all of the small aromatic nitriles, the diarylpyridines and most of the biaryl compounds and Morita–Baylis–Hillman products but not the Groebke–Blackburn–Bienaymé products. Nitrile conversion was influenced by steric hindrance around the cyano group, the presence of electron donating groups (e.g., methoxy) on the aromatic ring, and the overall size of the compound.

- Base-Mediated Amination of Alcohols Using Amidines
-
Novel and efficient base-mediated N-alkylation and amidation of amidines with alcohols have been developed, which can be carried out in one-pot reaction conditions, which allows for the synthesis of a wide range of N-alkyl amines and free amides in good to excellent yields with high atom economy. In contrast to borrowing hydrogen/hydrogen autotransfer or oxidative-type N-alkylation reactions, in which alcohols are activated by transition-metal-catalyzed or oxidative aerobic dehydrogenation, the use of amidines provides an effective surrogate of amines. This circumvents the inherent necessity in N-alkylation of an oxidant or a catalyst to be stabilized by ligands.

- Amine-Mediated Bond Cleavage in Oxidized Lignin Models
-
Introducing amines/ammonia into lignin cracking will allow novel bond cleavage pathways. Herein, a method of amines/ammonia-mediated bond cleavage in oxidized lignin β-O-4 models was studied using a copper catalyst at room temperature, demonstrating the effect of the amine source on the selectivity of products. For primary and secondary aliphatic amines, lignin ketone models underwent oxidative Cα?Cβ bond cleavage and Cα?N bond formation to generate aromatic amides. For ammonia, the competition between oxygen and ammonia determined the selectivity between Cα?N and Cβ?N bond formation, generating amides and α-keto amides, respectively. For tertiary amines, the lignin models underwent oxidative Cα?Cβ bond cleavage to benzoic acids. Control experiments indicated that amines act as nucleophiles attacking at the Cα or Cβ position of the oxidized β-O-4 linkage to be cleaved. This study represents a novel example that the breakage of oxidized lignin model can be regulated by amines with a copper catalyst.

- Transamidation for the Synthesis of Primary Amides at Room Temperature
-
Various primary amides have been synthesized using the transamidation of various tertiary amides under metal-free and mild reaction conditions. When (NH4)2CO3 reacts with a tertiary amide bearing an N-electron-withdrawing substituent, such as sulfonyl and diacyl, in DMSO at 25 °C, the desired primary amide product is formed in good yield with good funcctional group tolerance. In addition, N-tosylated lactam derivatives afforded their corresponding N-tosylamido alkyl amide products via a ring opening reaction.

- General Paradigm in Photoredox Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Allows for Light-Free Access to Reactivity
-
Self-sustained NiI/III cycles are established as a potentially general paradigm in photoredox Ni-catalyzed carbon–heteroatom cross-coupling reactions through a strategy that allows us to recapitulate photoredox-like reactivity in the absence of light across a wide range of substrates in the amination, etherification, and esterification of aryl bromides, the latter of which has remained, hitherto, elusive under thermal Ni catalysis. Moreover, the accessibility of esterification in the absence of light is especially notable because previous mechanistic studies on this transformation under photoredox conditions have unanimously invoked energy-transfer-mediated pathways.

- Aerobic oxidation of primary benzylic amines to amides and nitriles catalyzed by ruthenium carbonyl clusters carrying N,O-bidentate ligands
-
Four trinuclear ruthenium carbonyl clusters, (6-BrPyCHRO)2Ru3(CO)8 (R = 4-OCH3C6H4, 1a; R = 4-BrC6H4, 1b) and (2-OC6H4-HCN-C6H4R)2Ru3(CO)8 (R = 4-OCH3, 2a; R = 4-Br, 2b), were synthesized from the reactions of Ru3(CO)12 with the corresponding N,O-bidentate ligands (two pyridyl alcohols and two Schiff bases) respectively in a ratio of 1:2. Three new complexes 1b, 2a and 2b have been fully characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, NMR and X-ray crystallography. The catalytic activity of these ruthenium complexes for the aerobic oxidation of primary benzylic amines to amides and nitriles in the presence of t-BuOK was investigated, of which the Schiff base complex 2a was found to exhibit the highest activity.

- Cu(II)–metformin immobilized on graphene oxide: an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the Beckmann rearrangement
-
Abstract: In this study, for the first time, the copper(II) nanoparticles (NPs) have been immobilized on metformin-functionalized graphene oxide and then its catalytic applications have been investigated in synthesis of amides from aldoximes (Beckmann rearrangement). The chemical structure of prepared catalyst has been characterized by various analyses like FT-IR, TGA, TEM, SEM, EDX, and ICP. All analyses confirm the successful and stable immobilization of copper NPs on functionalized graphene oxide. This synthesized heterogeneous nanocatalyst showed excellent catalytic activity with high product yields and short reaction times. Also, the suggested catalyst could be recycled ten times without a drastic decrease in its catalytic activity. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

- Supported palladium catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl iodides employing bench-stable CO and NH3surrogates
-
A simple, efficient and phosphine free protocol for carbonylative synthesis of primary aromatic amides under polystyrene supported palladium (Pd?PS) nanoparticle (NP) catalyzed conditions has been demonstrated. Herein, instead of using two toxic and difficult to handle gases simultaneously, we have employed the solid, economical, bench stable oxalic acid as the CO source and ammonium carbamate as the NH3source in a single pot reaction. For the first time, we have applied two non-gaseous surrogates simultaneously under heterogeneous catalyst (Pd?PS) conditions for the synthesis of primary amides using an easy to handle double-vial (DV) system. The developed strategy showed a good functional group tolerance towards a wide range of aryl iodides and afforded primary aromatic amides in good yields. The Pd?PS catalyst was easy to separate and can be recycled up to four consecutive runs with small loss in catalytic activity. We have successfully extended the scope of the methodology to the synthesis of isoindole-1,3-diones from 1,2-dihalobenzene, 2-halobenzoates and 2-halobenzoic acid following double and single carbonylative cyclization approaches.

- Half-Sandwich Iridium Complexes for the One-Pot Synthesis of Amides: Preparation, Structure, and Diverse Catalytic Activity
-
Several types of air-stable N,O-coordinate half-sandwich iridium complexes containing Schiff base ligands with the general formula [Cp*IrClL] were synthesized in good yields. These stable iridium complexes displayed a good catalytic efficiency in amide synthesis. A variety of amides with different substituents were obtained in a one-pot procedure with excellent yields and high selectivities through the amidation of aldehydes with NH2OHHCl and nitrile hydration under the catalysis of complexes 1-4. The excellent and diverse catalytic activity, mild conditions, broad substance scope, and environmentally friendly solvent make this system potentially applicable in industrial production. Half-sandwich iridium complexes 1-4 were characterized by NMR, elemental analysis, and IR techniques. Molecular structures of complexes 2 and 3 were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis.

- Formamide catalyzed activation of carboxylic acids-versatile and cost-efficient amidation and esterification
-
A novel, broadly applicable method for amide C-N and ester C-O bond formation is presented based on formylpyrrolidine (FPyr) as a Lewis base catalyst. Herein, trichlorotriazine (TCT), which is the most cost-efficient reagent for OH-group activation, was employed in amounts of ≤40 mol% with respect to the starting material (100 mol%). The new approach is distinguished by excellent cost-efficiency, waste-balance (E-factor down to 3) and scalability (up to >80 g). Moreover, high levels of functional group compatibility, which includes acid-labile acetals and silyl ethers, are demonstrated and even peptide C-N bonds can be formed. In comparison to reported amidation procedures using TCT, yields are considerably improved (for instance from 26 to 91%) and esterification is facilitated for the first time in synthetically useful yields. These significant enhancements are rationalized by activation by means of acid chlorides instead of less electrophilic acid anhydride intermediates.

- Hydration of nitriles using a metal-ligand cooperative ruthenium pincer catalyst
-
Nitrile hydration provides access to amides that are important structural elements in organic chemistry. Here we report catalytic nitrile hydration using ruthenium catalysts based on a pincer scaffold with a dearomatized pyridine backbone. These complexes catalyze the nucleophilic addition of H2O to a wide variety of aliphatic and (hetero)aromatic nitriles in tBuOH as solvent. Reactions occur under mild conditions (room temperature) in the absence of additives. A mechanism for nitrile hydration is proposed that is initiated by metal-ligand cooperative binding of the nitrile.
