S. Gadhwal et al., ZEOLITE-HY - A SELECTIVE AND EFFICIENT CATALYST FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF AMIDES UNDER MICROWAVE IRRADIATIONS, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 37(8), 1998, pp. 725-727
An efficient and selective method for the conversion of various acids
into their corresponding amides in the presence of zeolite under micro
wave irradiation is described. The reaction proceeds efficiently at am
bient pressure in high yields.
