synthesis of N-tert-butyl amides from the reaction of nitriles (aryl, benzyl and sec-alkyl nitriles) with tert-butyl benzoate catalyzed by the employment of 2 mol% Zn(ClO4)2·6H2O at 50 °C under the solvent-free conditions is described. The reaction with aryl nitriles was carried out well and afforded the N-tert-butyl amides in 87–97% yields after 1 h. The benzyl and sec-alkyl nitriles also proceeded well
An efficient and inexpensive synthesis of N-substituted amides from the Ritter reaction of nitriles with esters 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. Reactions of a range of esters (benzyl, sec-alkyl, and tert-butyl esters) with nitriles (primary, secondary, tertiary, and aryl nitriles) were
