Abstract

Various kinds of primary amides could be synthesized through indirect aerobic oxygenation of primary amines using simple amorphous MnO 2 under additive-and solvent-free conditions. The catalyst/product separation was very easy, and the retrieved MnO 2 catalyst could be reused without an appreciable loss of its high catalytic performance.
