Abstract

Herein, we report the synthesis of acetamides from CO₂, methanol, H₂ and corresponding amines, which is a new route used to synthesize acetamides. It was found that the Rh catalyst with LiI/LiCl as promoters could effectively catalyze this reaction. Interestingly, no ligand was required and amine substrates played a role in accelerating the reaction.
