- A Cyanide-Free Synthesis of Acylcyanides through Ru-Catalyzed C(sp3)-H-Oxidation of Benzylic Nitriles
-
A practical method for generation of acylcyanides devoid of any external cyanide sources is presented that relies on a mild Ru-catalyzed selective C?H-oxidation of benzylic nitriles. The starting materials are smoothly generated through condensation of the corresponding carboxylic acid amides using silanes. The obtained acylcyanides can be employed in a plethora of transformation as exemplified to some larger extend in the sequence of C?H-oxidation-Tischenko-rearrangement for the generation of structurally diverse benzoyloxycyanohydrines.

- Acceptorless and Base-free Dehydrogenation of Cyanohydrin with (η6-Arene)halide(Bidentate Phosphine)ruthenium(II) Complex
-
Ruthenium-catalyzed dehydrogenation of cyanohydrins under acceptorless and base-free conditions was demonstrated for the first time in the synthesis of acyl cyanide. As opposed to the thermodynamically preferred elimination of hydrogen cyanide, the dehydrogenation of cyanohydrins could be kinetically controlled with ruthenium (II) bidentate phosphine complexes. The effects of the arene, phosphine ligands and counter anions were investigated in regard to catalytic activity and selectivity. Selective dehydrogenation can occur via β-hydride elimination with the experimentally observed [(alkoxide)Ru] complex. (Figure presented.).

- Rh-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of 1,2-Dicyanoalkenes
-
A highly efficient enantioselective hydrogenation of 1,2-dicyanoalkenes catalyzed by the complex of rhodium and f-spiroPhos has been developed. A series of 1,2-dicyanoalkenes were successfully hydrogenated to the corresponding chiral 1,2-dicyanoalkanes under mild conditions with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee). This methodology provides efficient access to the asymmetric synthesis of chiral diamines.

- Preparation method for D, L-phenylglycine and analogue thereof
-
The invention provides a preparation method for D, L-phenylglycine and an analogue thereof. According to the method, benzaldehyde, an analogue thereof and hydrocyanic acid are adopted as raw materials and subjected to cyanidation reaction, and then 2-hydroxy-benzyl cyanide or 2-hydroxy-benzyl cyanide analogue (cyanohydrin for short) is generated. Cyanohydrin reacts with carbon dioxide and the aqueous solution of ammonia, and then 5-phenyl-hydantoin and an analogue thereof (hydantoin for short) are generated. hydantoin is successively subjected to steam stripping, alkaline hydrolysis, steam stripping, decolorization, neutralization, crystallization, washing, centrifuging, drying and the like to obtain D, L-phenylglycine and the analogue thereof. Compared with the prior art, the preparation method for D, L-phenylglycine and the analogue thereof can significantly and effectively reduce the pollution, and fewer inorganic salt by-products are generated. Meanwhile, the prepared D, L-phenylglycine and the analogue thereof are high in product yield and high in purity. Counted in benzaldehyde and the analogue thereof, the yield of D, L-phenylglycine and the analogue thereof is larger than or equal to 96%, and the product purity is larger than or equal to 99%. Meanwhile, the process flow is simple and feasible, so that the method is worthy of market popularization and application.

A practical cyanation of aroyl chlorides with 0.2 equivalent of non-toxic cyanide source, K4[Fe(CN)6], 3 mol% AgI, 4 mol% PEG-400, and 3 mol% KI as the catalyst system is described. The reactions were performed in DMF at room temperature and provided the corresponding aroyl cyanides in 64-89% yield, typically in less than ten hours. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

Aroyl cyanides were readily synthesized in moderate yields by the cyanation of aroyl chlorides with dry powdered potassium cyanide under the catalysis of PEG400 and zinc iodide in dichloromethane at room temperature. A preliminary study on the one-pot preparation of acetyl cyanide was also reported.

- Reaction of Aromatic Acyl Chlorides with Potassium or Sodium Cyanide Impregnated onto Amberlite XAD Resins. Efficient Synthesis of Aromatic Acyl Cyanides
-
The effects of alkali metal cyanide impregnated on Amberlite XAD resins (KCN/XAD, NaCN/XAD) have been examined using the cyanation of benzoyl chloride.In benzene, benzoyl cyanide was obtained in a very high yield with high selectivity under mild conditions.It is proposed that the reaction occurs on the surface of the resin.On the basis of the result obtained in the absence of any solvent, the reactivity of KCN/XAD toward dimerization of benzoyl cyanide has been found to be much poorer than that of KCN in solution.Although the reaction of acyl chlorides with KCN/XADor NaCN/XAD in benzene gave various acyl cyanides in good to excellent yields, no aliphatic acyl cyanide could be obtained.
