Clean, reusable and low cost heterogeneous catalyst for amide synthesis

Chem Commun (Camb). 2009 May 14:(18):2562-4. doi: 10.1039/b901581g. Epub 2009 Mar 18.

Abstract

We have developed a heterogeneous silica catalyst that can effectively catalyse amide synthesis from acid and amine, without production of toxic by-products and with the advantage of being readily available, low cost, environmentally benign and reusable.
