Abstract

Three cis-selenophenolato iron hydrides [cis-[(ArSe)FeH(PMe3)4] (Ar=Ph (1), p-MeOC6H4 (2) and o-MeC6H4 (3)], were used as catalysts for the dehydration of primary amides to nitriles. The experimental results show that three complexes have good catalytic effect on reductive dehydration of primary amide to nitrile under mild conditions using (EtO)3SiH as reducing agent. The catalytic system is well tolerated to the substituents on the benzene ring in aromatic amides. Compared with electron-donating group, electron-withdrawing group is more advantageous to the catalytic reaction.
