PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF N-HYDROCARBYL-SUSTITUTED AMIDES VIA THE RITTER REACTION USING SOLID CLAY CATALYSTS

摘要

Hydrocarbyl-substituted amides can be prepared in a catalyzed Ritter reaction by contacting a nitrile with a hydrocarbylating agent, in the presence of an acidified clay as the catalyst, under conditions conducive to the formation o f the hydrocarbyl-substituted amide.
