“…[32] The selective hydration of nitriles to amides under mild reaction conditions is difficult. [33] A large number of precious metals such as Au, [34,35] Pt, [36] Ru, [29][30][31]37] Rh, [38,39] Pd, [40,41] and so forth have been used for the hydration of nitriles, however due to their limited accessibility and moisture sensitivity still demand to search for a more effective protocol using low-cost metals, namely, Co, Fe, Cu, Ni, and so forth. Despite all the attempts, most of the methods reported to date have some limitations such as long reaction time, high quantity of reagents, high temperatures (180 C, 160 C, 140 C, and 120 C-100 C), [42] use of expensive catalysts, [43,44] and inert atmosphere (Ar, N 2 ).…”
