Naraoka, Asuka published the artcileTransfer Hydration of Dinitriles to Dicarboxamides, COA of Formula: C8H4N2, the main research area is dicarboxamide preparation; dinitrile hydration palladium catalyst acetamide water donor.
A robust method for double transfer hydration of dinitriles to afford diamides was presented. The transfer hydration of 1,n-dinitriles (n = 1-6) proceeds smoothly in the presence of a palladium(II) catalyst with acetamide as a water donor, affording the corresponding diamides in moderate to high yields, without involving significant side reactions such as monohydration or cyclization. The equilibrium was shifted in the forward direction by removing coproduced acetonitrile under reduced pressure.
Synlett published new progress about Diamides Role: SPN (Synthetic Preparation), PREP (Preparation). 91-15-6 belongs to class nitriles-buliding-blocks, name is Phthalonitrile, and the molecular formula is C8H4N2, COA of Formula: C8H4N2.
