Using CsOH as the only catalyst and utilizing its "cesium effect", a clean synthesis of a wide range of primary, secondary, and tertiary carboxamides was achieved by aminolysis reactions of nitriles with ammonia, primary, or secondary amines in water. Studies on the control reactions revealed that the reactions with ammonia most probably proceed via an aminolysis path by the initial addition of ammonia to Cs-activated nitriles to form unsubstituted amidine intermediates, while the reactions with primary or secondary amines may proceed via a hydration/transamidation path by the initial hydration of the Cs-activated nitriles to form primary carboxamide intermediates followed by their transamidation with amines through the formation of substituted amidine intermediates.

Previously obtained picolinic acid benzylamide is a potent anticonvulsant with low neurotoxicity. In search for new effective anticonvulsants twelve new benzylamides (1-12) were synthesized and preliminary evaluated in the Anticonvulsant Screening Program (ASP) of Antiepileptic Drug Development Program (ADDP) of NIH. Two of them appeared the most promising: 1- cyclopentenecarboxylic acid benzylamide (1- Cpc-BZA) (9) showed MES ED 50 = 85,36 mg/kg (PI = 2,49), scPTZ ED50 = 1,37 mg/kg (PI = 1,37), 6Hz-EST ED50 = 50,29 mg/kg and cyclopentanecarboxylic acid benzylamide (Cpc-BZA) (11) showed pilocarpine ED50 = 154.75 mg/kg and pilocarpine ED97 = 270.95 mg/kg.
