Synthesis of Symmetrical N,N′-Alkylidene Bisamides Using Zinc Chloride as a Lewis Acid Catalyst

Article Preview

Abstract:

N,N-alkylidene bisamides were synthesized with good to excellent yields from aliphatic or aromatic aldehydes and amides in the presence of 2 mol % of anhydrous zinc chloride. The synthesis successfully employed Lewis acid as catalyst.
