Going round again : Catalytic selective hydration of nitriles to amides by a safe and recyclable catalyst, Nafion‐Ru, is described. The reaction is general, inexpensive, conveniently carried out in water as solvent, and is applicable to diverse benzonitriles and heteroaromatic nitriles. Easy preparation of the catalyst and separation of the product, as well as simple regeneration and recycling of the catalyst are the salient features of this method.
