An iron-catalysed synthesis of amides from nitriles and amines
Allen, C. Liana,Lapkin, Alexei A.,Williams, Jonathan M.J.
experimental part, p. 4262 - 4264 (2009/10/26)
The cheap, commercially available iron complex, Fe(NO3)3·9H2O, has been used to catalyse the formation of amides by the addition of amines to nitriles.
Highly selective amidation of benzylic alcohols with nitriles. A modified ritter reaction
Firouzabadi,Sardarian,Badparva
, p. 601 - 607 (2007/10/02)
Benzyl alcohols react selectively with different nitriles in the presence of a catalytic amount of boron trifluoride and produce amides in high yields. Deactivated p-nitrobenzyl, allylic, primary, secondary, and tertiary saturated alcohols do not react.
