A new modification of the Ritter reaction using trimethylsilylcyanide (Me3SiCN) is described, which converts alcohols to their corresponding formamides in high yields using a convenient procedure. The reaction conditions and mechanism are discussed. In some cases, new formamides are synthesized which cannot be prepared by the classical Ritter reaction.
