Abstract

Choline chloride: a 2ZnCl2 based deep eutectic solvent was found to be a simple, green, efficient and new solvent system for the preparation of primary amides from aldehydes. The same catalytic system is also applicable for the preparation of amides from nitriles. Good to excellent yields of primary amides were obtained in both these transformations.
