Clean, reusable and low cost heterogeneous catalyst for amide synthesis.
We have developed a heterogeneous silica catalyst that can effectively catalyse amide synthesis from acid and amine, without production of toxic by-products and with the advantage of being readily available, low cost, environmentally benign and reusable.
