Transamidation of carboxamides with amines over nanosized zeolite beta under solvent-free conditions

A highly efficient approach to transamidation of carboxamides with amines over nanosized zeolite beta under solvent-free conditions has been successfully demonstrated. Transamidation of a variety of amides with amines produced the respective N-alkyl amides in moderate to excellent yields. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
