Abstract
The cleavage and functionalization of carbon-carbon (C–C) bonds has emerged as a powerful tool for preparing value-added chemicals. In this protocol, we describe the preparation of amorphous manganese oxide and its application as a heterogeneous catalyst in the direct synthesis of amides via successive cleavage and amidation of C–C bonds in alcohols. Furthermore, we describe how a slight modification of reaction conditions allows for the cleavage and cyanation of alcohols to access sterically hindered nitriles.
For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to He et al. (2022).
