- Hydrosilylative reduction of primary amides to primary amines catalyzed by a terminal [Ni-OH] complex
-
A terminal [Ni-OH] complex1, supported by triflamide-functionalized NHC ligands, catalyzes the hydrosilylative reduction of a range of primary amides into primary amines in good to excellent yields under base-free conditions with key functional group tolerance. Catalyst1is also effective for the reduction of a variety of tertiary and secondary amides. In contrast to literature reports, the reactivity of1towards amide reduction follows an inverse trend,i.e., 1° amide > 3° amide > 2° amide. The reaction does not follow a usual dehydration pathway.

- Catalytic Cyanation Using CO2 and NH3
-
Li and co-workers describe the catalytic cyanation of organic halides with CO2 and NH3. In the presence of Cu2O/DABCO as the catalyst, a variety of aromatic bromides and iodides were transformed to the desired nitrile products with broad functional-group tolerance. Both 13C- and/or 15N-labeled nitriles were obtained conveniently with appropriately isotope-labeled CO2 and NH3. Construction of functionalized chemical compounds from small molecules in a highly selective and efficient manner is crucial for sustainable development. The chemical-based manufacturing sector of the future should aim to produce chemicals from very simple and abundant resources, just as nature uses CO2 and N2 to generate sugars, amino acids, and so forth. In practice, however, the utilization of CO2 for the generation of industrial products, such as drugs and related intermediates, still remains a major challenge. Here, we describe the facile cyanide-free production of high-value nitriles with CO2 and NH3 as the sole sources of carbon and nitrogen, respectively. This practical and catalytic methodology provides a unique strategy for the utilization of small molecules for sustainable and cost-effective applications. Selective cyanation of aryl halides was achieved with CO2 and NH3 as the only sources of carbon and nitrogen, respectively. In the presence of Cu catalysts under low pressure (3 atm), a variety of aromatic iodides and bromides were transformed to the desired nitrile products without the use of toxic metal cyanides. Notably, olefins, esters, amides, alcohols, and amino groups were tolerated. Mechanistic studies suggest that Cu(III)-aryl insertion by isocyanate intermediates is involved. [13C,15N]-labeled nitriles were conveniently accessible from the respective isotope-labeled CO2 and NH3 via this methodology.

- Stable and reusable nanoscale Fe2O3-catalyzed aerobic oxidation process for the selective synthesis of nitriles and primary amides
-
The sustainable introduction of nitrogen moieties in the form of nitrile or amide groups in functionalized molecules is of fundamental interest because nitrogen-containing motifs are found in a large number of life science molecules, natural products and materials. Hence, the synthesis and functionalization of nitriles and amides from easily available starting materials using cost-effective catalysts and green reagents is highly desired. In this regard, herein we report the nanoscale iron oxide-catalyzed environmentally benign synthesis of nitriles and primary amides from aldehydes and aqueous ammonia in the presence of 1 bar O2 or air. Under mild reaction conditions, this iron-catalyzed aerobic oxidation process proceeds to synthesise functionalized and structurally diverse aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic nitriles. Additionally, applying this iron-based protocol, primary amides have also been prepared in a water medium.

- Metal-Free Oxidation of Primary Amines to Nitriles through Coupled Catalytic Cycles
-
Synergism among several intertwined catalytic cycles allows for selective, room temperature oxidation of primary amines to the corresponding nitriles in 85-98 % isolated yield. This metal-free, scalable, operationally simple method employs a catalytic quantity of 4-acetamido-TEMPO (ACT; TEMPO=2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine N-oxide) radical and the inexpensive, environmentally benign triple salt oxone as the terminal oxidant under mild conditions. Simple filtration of the reaction mixture through silica gel affords pure nitrile products.

- "Nanorust"-catalyzed benign oxidation of amines for selective synthesis of nitriles
-
Organic nitriles constitute key precursors and central intermediates in organic synthesis. In addition, nitriles represent a versatile motif found in numerous medicinally and biologically important compounds. Generally, these nitriles are synthesized by traditional cyanation procedures using toxic cyanides. Herein, we report the selective and environmentally benign oxidative conversion of primary amines for the synthesis of structurally diverse aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic nitriles using a reusable "nanorust" (nanoscale Fe2O3)-based catalysts applying molecular oxygen.

- Synthesis of Nitriles from Aldoximes and Primary Amides Using XtalFluor-E
-
The dehydration reaction of aldoximes and amides for the synthesis of nitriles using [Et2NSF2]BF4 (XtalFluor-E) is described. Overall, the reaction proceeds rapidly (normally 1 h) at room temperature in an environmentally benign solvent (EtOAc) with only a slight excess of the dehydrating agent (1.1 equiv). A broad scope of nitriles can be prepared, including chiral nonracemic ones. In addition, in a number of cases, further purification of the nitrile after the workup was not required.

- Cobalt-Catalyzed Electrophilic Cyanation of Arylzinc Halides with N-Cyano-N-phenyl-p-methylbenzenesulfonamide (NCTS)
-
The cobalt-catalyzed cross-coupling of organozinc bromides with N-cyano-N-phenyl-p-methylbenzenesulfonamide (NCTS) is described. The same cobalt catalyst, cobalt(II) bromide, was used for both the synthesis of the organozinc species and the cross-coupling reaction. However in this case, a catalytic amount of zinc dust is necessary in the second step to release the low-valent cobalt. Under these mild conditions, moderate to excellent yields of different benzonitriles were obtained.

- Reductive elimination from arylpalladium cyanide complexes
-
We report the isolation and characterization of arylpalladium cyanide complexes that undergo reductive elimination to form arylnitriles. The rates of reductive elimination from a series of arylpalladium cyanide complexes reveal that the electronic effects on the reductive elimination from arylpalladium cyanide complexes are distinct from those on reductive reductive eliminations from arylpalladium alkoxo, amido, thiolate, and enolate complexes. Arylpalladium cyanide complexes containing aryl ligands with electron-donating substituents undergo reductive elimination of aromatic nitriles faster than complexes containing aryl ligands with electron-withdrawing substituents. In addition, the transition state for the reductive elimination of the aromatic nitrile is much different from that for reductive eliminations that occur from most other arylpalladium complexes. Computational studies indicate that the reductive elimination of an arylnitrile from Pd(II) occurs through a transition state more closely related in structure and electronic distribution to that for the insertion of CO into a palladium-aryl bond.

- HIGH-PURITY (FLUOROALKYL)BENZENE DERIVATIVE AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME
-
The process for producing a (fluoroalkyl)benzene derivative according to the present invention comprises a step of reducing the total content of group 3 to group 12 transition metals in an alkylbenzene derivative to 500 ppm or less in terms of metal atoms; a step of halogenating the branched alkyl group of the purified alkylbenzene derivative by a photohalogenation to obtain a (haloalkyl)benzene derivative; and a step of subjecting the (haloalkyl)benzene derivative to a halogen-fluorine exchange using HF in an amount of 10 mol or higher per one mole of the (haloalkyl)benzene derivative. The (fluoroalkyl)benzene derivative produced by the process is reduced in the content of impurities such as residual halogens and residual metals, and is useful as intermediates for functional chemical products for use in applications such as medicines and electronic materials.

- Electron Affinities of Di- and Tetracyanoethylene and Cyanobenzenes Based on Measurements of Gas-Phase Electron-Transfer Equilibria
-
The electron affinities of tetracyanoethylene, trans-1,2-dicyanoethylene, and eleven substituted benzonitriles as well as two naphthonitriles were determined by measurement of the electron-transfer equilibria A-+B=A+B- with a pulsed electron high ion source pressure mass spectrometer.Rate constants for exothermic electron transfer involving the cyano compounds were found to be near unit collision efficiency.The EA (tetracyanoethylene)=3.17 eV obtained in the present work is considerably higher than the 2.3 eV photodetachment value of Palmer and Lyons.The electron affinities of benzene and benzonitrile substituted by CN, CHO, and NO2 increase in the given order, while the order for nitrobenzene is CHO, CN, NO2.This reversal of order is explained on the basis of a larger attenuation of the ?-withdrawing effect relative to the field effect of substituents when the electron density in the ?* single-electron orbital is decreased.
