Ag-grafted covalent imine network material for one-pot three-component coupling and hydration of nitriles to amides in aqueous medium

Abstract

Silver grafted porous covalent imine network material (Ag-CIN-1) has been designed<italic>via</italic>a simple chemical route and it has been successfully employed as catalyst for the hydration of nitriles to amides and the A³coupling reactions of an alkyne, an amine and an aldehyde in water.
