1,6-Conjugate addition/Ritter-type amidation of para-quinone methides (p-QMs) with nitriles is described. This transformation is an environmentally friendly approach by the use of NaHSO4 as a low-loading, inexpensive, green, and recyclable catalyst. Diarylmethane amides are afforded in excellent yields through a one-pot process from p-QMs and nitrile derivatives under mild reaction conditions.
