Abstract

An efficient and inexpensive synthesis of N-substituted amides from the reaction of nitriles with methyl ethers catalyzed by Fe(ClO4)3·H2O is described. Fe(ClO4)3·H2O is an economically efficient catalyst for the Ritter Reaction under solvent-free conditions. A range of methyl ethers (benzyl, sec-alkyl and tert-butyl ethers) were reacted with nitriles to provide the corresponding amides in high–excellent yields.
