Triflic Anhydride Promoted Synthesis of Primary Amides and their Conversion into Nitriles

Abstract A facile, two-pot conversion of carboxylic acids into the corresponding nitriles has been developed using triflic anhydride as a promoter and aqueous NH4OH as a source of nitrogen. The methodology involves synthesis of primary amides from carboxylic acids as the key first step using triflic...
