Transamidation of carboxamides with amines over nanosized zeolite beta under solvent-free conditions

• Nano beta shows excellent activity towards transamidation of amides with amines.
• The N-alkyl amide products were produced in moderate to excellent yields.
• The catalyst can be reused without significant loss in their catalytic activity.

A highly efficient approach to transamidation of carboxamides with amines over nanosized zeolite beta under solvent-free conditions has been successfully demonstrated. Transamidation of a variety of amides with amines produced the respective N-alkyl amides in moderate to excellent yields.
