ChemInform Abstract: Studies on Novel Synthetic Methodologies. Part 8. A Convenient and Efficient One-Pot Conversion of Ketones into Amides under Microwave Irradiation Using Silica Gel Supported NaHSO4 Catalyst.
An AICl3–ZnCl2 mixture supported on silica gel is found to be an efficient medium for the Fries rearrangement of acyloxybenzene or naphthalene derivatives in solvent-free conditions under microwave irradiation.
