In situ formation of a [Pd(OAc)₂bipy] (bipy = 2,2′-bipyridyl) complex in water selectively catalyses the hydration of a wide range of organonitriles at 70 °C. Catalyst loadings of 5 mol% afford primary amide products in excellent yields in the absence of hydration-promoting additives such as oximes and hydroxylamines.

基于Pd（OAc）₂的体系催化的腈在水中的选择性水合

在水中原位形成[Pd（OAc）₂ bipy]（bipy = 2,2'-bipyridyl）配合物在70°C时选择性催化多种有机腈的水合作用。在不存在水合促进添加剂如肟和羟胺的情况下，催化剂负载量为5 mol％可提供优异产率的伯酰胺产品。
