## Abstract The synthesis of __N__‐hexylpentanamide from a stoichiometric amount of pentanenitrile and hexylamine has been studied as a model reaction for the synthesis of nylon‐6 from 6‐aminocapronitrile. The reaction was carried out under mild hydrothermal conditions and in the presence of a homo
