Amides are a very important class of compounds in chemistry and biology that have been used as intermediates in peptide and protein synthesis, intensifiers of perfume, anti-block reagents, color pigments for inks, detergents, and lubricants. In general, it is very difficult to oxygenate selectively the α-methylene groups of amines to the corresponding amides. However, the supported ruthenium hydroxide catalyst acts as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the oxygenation of primary amines to primary amides. |
