On the Preparation of Acyl Cyanides from Aldehydes
The O-silylated cyanohydrins 3 prepared from the aldehydes 1 with trimethylsilyl cyanide are oxidized photochemically or thermally with N-bromosuccinimide to afford the acyl cyanides 4a-n.Scope and limitations of the procedure are discussed.

Trimethylsilyl Cyanide - A Reagent for Umpolung, VIII. Derivatives of 2-(Trimethylsilyloxy)-2-propenenitrile. Syntheses and General Properties
Rather different derivatives of the new title compuond 7 were synthesized by routes A - H (Table 2 and 3).The effects of substituents and reaction routes on the E/Z ratios (NMR) is discussed.Replacement of SiMe3 in 7 by RCO- and MeSO2- yields other alkenes with donor (O - X) and acceptor groups (CN) at the same C-atom.Their opposite effects on the β-C-atom is estimated from the corresponding 1H- and 13C-NMR signals.
