Overview

Tandem electro-thermal catalysis enhances amide yield in acetonitrile, suggesting efficient synthesis methods.

Key Points

  • Achieved over 94% selectivity for acetamide using superoxide radicals, enhancing synthesis efficiency.
  • A total current density of 104 mA cm−2 led to a productivity of 878 µmol cm−2 h−1 in the process.
  • Mechanistic studies indicate superoxide radicals enable effective C─O coupling at the nitrile group.
  • This method highlights the potential for developing various amides and advancing organic synthesis.
