Acrylic monomers are a significant part of the global economy, contributing to the manufacture of over a billion tons of diverse polymeric consumer products every year. The development of more efficient, greener methods to manufacture this highly demanded class of compounds is an important goal in the realization of a sustainable chemical industry. The pursuit of environmentally benign production processes has inspired a rich body of industrial and academic research on methods for the catalytic hydration of nitriles, and this review surveys both established and newer methods of generating acrylic amides, acids, and esters from nitrile and cyanohydrin substrates. The review also examines synthetic and mechanistic studies of homogeneously catalyzed nitrile hydration reactions with an emphasis on explicating the parameters that impact catalyst performance. The final section is a discussion of catalyst properties, gleaned from the mechanistic studies, that will be useful in designing the next generation of nitrile hydration catalysts.
