The six dimethylbenzonitriles can be divided into two independent triads in their photochemical reactivity. The first triad is comprised of the 2,3-dimethyl, 3,4-dimethyl, and 2,6-dimethyl isomers (11-2,3, 11-3,4, and 11-2,6, respectively); the second triad is comprised of the 2,4-dimethyl, 2,5-dimethyl, and 3,5-dimethyl isomers (11-2,4, 11-2,5, and 11-3,5, respectively). In acetonitrile, phototransposition converts the members of one triad to other members of the same triad, although only 11-3,4 was reactive enough to have significant conversion approaching a steady-state composition. Irradiation in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) resulted in the formation of addition products, 6-cyano-X,Y-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.0]hex-3-en-2-yl 2,2,2,-trifluoroethyl ethers, but in significant yield only from 11-3,4 of the first triad and 11-2,4 of the second triad. The 11-3,4 isomer gave seven major regio- and stereoisomers; the 11-2,4 isomer gave three different regio- and stereoisomers. These addition products were all explained by formation of bicyclo[3.1.0]hex-3-en-1-yl cations resulting from protonation by TFE at C6 followed by nucleophilic trapping by TFE. From these and previous results on aromatic nitriles, a consistent mechanistic picture is obtained where the critical carbon in determining the products of the phototransposition and photoaddition reactions is the cyano substituted one.
Method for continuous preparation of nitriles by amides (by machine translation)

Paragraph 0033-0054; 0061-0065, (2020/12/15)
The method comprises the following steps: preparing a lead salt supported by a molecular sieve by a lead salt and a molecular sieve through an impregnation method; and filling a molecular sieve-loaded lead catalyst into a fixed bed reactor. The amide or amide solution is sent into a fixed bed reactor from the top of the fixed bed to be subjected to catalytic dehydration, and the obtained reaction product is led out from the bottom of the fixed bed. The reaction product is separated to obtain the crude product of the nitrile corresponding to the amide. A fixed bed continuous production process is adopted, the reaction process is simple, the production efficiency is high, the product post-treatment is simple, and industrial production is easy to realize.

Dual Ligand-Enabled Nondirected C-H Cyanation of Arenes
Chen, Hao,Mondal, Arup,Wedi, Philipp,Van Gemmeren, Manuel
, p. 1979 - 1984 (2019/02/19)
Aromatic nitriles are key structural units in organic chemistry and, therefore, highly attractive targets for C-H activation. Herein, the development of an arene-limited, nondirected C-H cyanation based on the use of two cooperatively acting commercially available ligands is reported. The reaction enables the cyanation of arenes by C-H activation in the absence of directing groups and is therefore complementary to established approaches.
