Abstract

A heterogeneous process for selectively producing acetamides in which the acyl nitrogen is otherwise bonded to methyl, ethyl, hydrogen or combinations thereof which comprises contacting a mixture of carbon monoxide, hydrogen and a nitrogen-containing compound selected from the group consisting of ammonia, nitric oxide and mixtures thereof with a heterogeneous solid catalyst comprising rhodium and manganese. The acetamides of the invention are formed in a collective amount of at least 25 weight percent of the total amide products of the reaction.
