Procedure

(0.0045 g, 0.0097 mmol) of the catalyst of Example 3, was dissolved in a vigorously stirred mixture of benzonitrile (3.5 g, 0.034 mmol), ethanol (7 cm3) and water (2 ml, 0.06 mmol). To this was added an excess of AgBF4 (0.0045 g, 0.019 mmol) and the reaction mixture refluxed at 90° C. for five hours. After cooling, it was filtered to remove the precipitated AgCl. The solvent was then removed under reduced pressure to give benzamide (3.60 g, 87%), which was dried in vacuo.
