Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed dehydration of primary amides to nitriles efficiently proceeds under mild, aqueous conditions in the presence of dichloroacetonitrile as a water acceptor. Dichloroacetonitrile preferentially reacts with amides over other polar functional groups with the aid of the Pd catalyst.
