Abstract
There is provided a process for preparing amides which comprises reacting an amine, or an amide, and an acid halide, or anhydride, in suitable molecular proportions, in an inert organic diluent, in the presence of an effective amount of a molecular sieve, until the reaction is completed, separating the molecular sieve, and recovering the amide from the organic mother liquor.

A process for preparing amides which comprises reacting an amine, or amide, and an acid halide, or anhydride, in suitable molecular proportions, in an inert organic solvent, in the presence of an effective amount of a molecular sieve, until the reaction is completed, separating the molecular sieve and without another acid-binding agent, and recovering the amide from the organic mother liquor.
