Abstract:
1. A process for producing amide compounds from a primary amine with more than 95% conversion, wherein said process comprises the steps of: a. contacting a primary amine, solvent solution with a non-precious metal-containing ordered, mesoporous, solid catalyst, wherein the amount of catalyst ranges from 10 to 40% by weight of amine, said contact being carried out in the optional presence of ammonia solution, solvent ranges from 10 to 30 times by weight of said primary amine and ammonia solution ranges from 2 to 10 times by weight of amine; b. pressurizing the reactor with molecular oxygen-containing gas at a pressure of 2 to 6 bar; c. subjecting the reaction mixture obtained in step (b) to a temperature in the range of 100 to 160° C. and for a reaction period of 3 to 8 hrs to obtain said amide compound, and, d. separating the amide compound from the reaction mixture.
