Visible light-mediated amidation of aryl diazonium salts with nitriles – A novel photo-Ritter type reaction - Vol.58(B), Feb. - New Delhi CSIR 2021 - 140-146p.

An efficient, metal-free protocol for amidation of aryl diazonium salts with nitriles has been developed utilizing visible light as an inexpensive, safer and sustainable energy source and eosin Y as an organophotoredox catalyst. The reaction follows a free radical pathway and offers an environmentally sustainable approach to a variety of amides in a simple one-pot procedure at room temperature.
