Highly Convenient and Efficient One-pot Conversions of Aldehydes into Nitriles and Ketones into Amides Using HY-Zeolite [1]

Abstract

One-pot conversions of aldehydes into nitriles and ketones into amides have been carried out conveniently and efficiently using HY-zeolite as catalyst. Both microwave irradiation and conventional methods have been studied.

Key words

aldehydes - ketones - nitriles - amides - HY-zeolite - microwave irradiation
