Efficient and Substrate-Specific Hydration of Nitriles to Amides in Water by Using a CeO sub(2) Catalyst

CeO sub(2) acted as a reusable and effective catalyst for the hydration of various nitriles to amides in water under neutral conditions at low temperature (30-100 degree C). CeO sub(2) showed notable substrate specificity for nitriles that have a heteroatom adjacent to the alpha -carbon atom of the...

Summary:CeO sub(2) acted as a reusable and effective catalyst for the hydration of various nitriles to amides in water under neutral conditions at low temperature (30-100 degree C). CeO sub(2) showed notable substrate specificity for nitriles that have a heteroatom adjacent to the alpha -carbon atom of the CN group (see scheme).
