HYDROXYAPATITE WITH SILVER SUPPORTED ON THE SURFACE THEREOF

摘要

Provided is a hydroxyapatite with silver supported on the surface thereof, which is a novel compound useful as a catalyst in a reaction where a nitrile compound is hydrated to obtain a corresponding amide compound. The hydroxyapatite with silver supported on the surface thereof is obtained by supporting nonvalent Ag on the surface of hydroxyapatite. Further provided are: a hydroxyapatite with silver supported on the surface thereof which is as a catalyst; and an amide compound production method for hydrating a nitrile compound in the presence of the hydroxyapatite with silver supported on the surface thereof with nonvalent Ag supported on the hydroxyapatite surface to produce a corresponding amide compound.
