Impact/Purpose:

Sent for publication in the Royal Society of Chemisry (RSC) journal, Green Chemistry

Description:

Ruthenium has been immobilized over chitosan by simply stirring an aqueous suspension of chitosan in water with ruthenium chloride and has been utilized for the oxidation of nitriles to amides; the hydration of nitriles occurs in high yield and excellent selectivity, which proceeds exclusively in aqueous medium under neutral conditions.
