Dear student 
A facile conversion of nitrile to amide may be achieved by the reaction in the presence of DMSO, unaccompanied by side reactions such as the epoxyamide formation from α,β-unsaturated nitrile. Kinetics and product analysis suggest that a predominant reaction is not a non-radical oxidation of H2O2 with 1 but a radical decomposition of H2O2 which is induced by the homolysis of anion of 1 (1A). No singlet oxygen could be trapped chemically. The reaction of superoxide ion, O2\ewdot, with acetonitrile is shown to be analogous to that of HOO−; the decomposit
