Abstract
A practical and efficient method is developed for efficient synthesis of a wide variety of 1°, 2°, and 3° amides through amidation of methylarenes with amine hydrochloride salts, over magnetic CoFe2O4 NPs as a recyclable nanocatalyst, and aqueous tert-butyl hydroperoxide as an oxidant. This economically sound amidation reaction is operationally straightforward and provides desired amides in good to excellent yields, under mild conditions.
