One-step base promoted strategy for cyanation of α,α-diaryl alcohols has been developed under mild and transition metal-free conditions. This method provides a straightforward and facile way towards the synthesis of β,γ-unsaturated nitriles and α-phenylnitiriles from α-vinyl carbinols and α,α-diaryl methanols, respectively, up to 99% yield. Moreover, various azides and ethers could also be accessed from their respective nucleophiles under standard reaction conditions.

Salts containing new cyanido(fluorido)phosphate anions of the general formula [PF6-n(CN)n]- (n=1-4) were synthesized by a very mild Lewis-acid-catalyzed synthetic protocol and fully characterized. All [PF6-n(CN)n]- (n=1-4) salts could be isolated on a preparative scale. It was also possible to detect the [PF(CN)5]- but not the [P(CN)6]- anion. The best results with respect to purity, yield, and low cost were obtained when the F-/CN- substitution reactions were carried out in ionic liquids. Cyanido(fluorido)phosphates: Salts containing [PF6-n(CN)n]- (n=1-4) ions were isolated on a preparative scale by utilizing Lewis acids (LA) catalysts under mild conditions (see equation). The best results with respect to purity, yield, and low cost were obtained when the F-/CN- substitution reactions were carried out in ionic liquids.

Sodium hydride (NaH) is widely used as a Br?nsted base in chemical synthesis and reacts with various Br?nsted acids, whereas it rarely behaves as a reducing reagent through delivery of the hydride to polar π electrophiles. This study presents a series of reduction reactions of nitriles, amides, and imines as enabled by NaH in the presence of LiI or NaI. This remarkably simple protocol endows NaH with unprecedented and unique hydride-donor chemical reactivity.

The selective synthesis of multiarylated acetonitriles via sequential palladium-catalyzed arylations of chloroacetonitrile is reported. The three aryl groups are installed via a Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling reaction followed by back-to-back C-H arylations to afford triarylacetonitriles in three steps with no over-arylation at any step. The triarylacetonitrile products can be converted into highly functionalized species including tetraarylmethanes. This new strategy provides rapid access to a variety of unsymmetrical tri- and tetraarylmethane derivatives from simple, readily available starting materials. (Chemical Presented)

A novel and practical method for the synthesis of diverse α-aryl and α-vinyl nitriles was developed via an iron-catalyzed sp3 C-O ether bond cleavage with C-C bond formation in the reaction of π-activated ethers with TMSCN.

, p. 1385 - 1392 (2012/11/07)
A scalable process for the manufacture of a potassium ion channel blocker was developed and optimized. Key features of the process include an optimized Grignard reaction, a direct cyanation of the intermediate trityl alcohol derivative, and an improved nitrile hydrolysis protocol, relative to the original acidic hydrolysis conditions, to generate the crude active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) with >95% HPLC purity. The Grignard and the cyanation reactions could be telescoped, resulting in an improved throughput compared to the original four-step process. An effective recrystallization of the API was also developed and the process scaled up to manufacture multiple batches at the pilot scale.
Nitrile imines: Matrix isolation, IR spectra, structures, and rearrangement to carbodiimides

The structures and reactivities of nitrile imines are subjects of continuing debate. Several nitrile imines were generated photochemically or thermally and investigated by IR spectroscopy in Ar matrices at cryogenic temperatures (Ph-CNN-H 6, Ph-CNN-CH317, Ph-CNN-SiMe323, Ph-CNN-Ph 29, Ph3C-CNN-CPh334, and the boryl-CNN-boryl derivative 39). The effect of substituents on the structures and IR absorptions of nitrile imines was investigated computationally at the B3LYP/6-31G level. IR spectra were analyzed in terms of calculated anharmonic vibrational spectra and were generally in very good agreement with the calculated spectra. Infrared spectra were found to reflect the structures of nitrile imines accurately. Nitrile imines with IR absorptions above 2200 cm -1 have essentially propargylic structures, possessing a CN triple bond (typically PhCNNSiMe323, PhCNNPh 29, and boryl-CNN-boryl 39). Nitrile imines with IR absorptions below ca. 2200 cm-1 are more likely to be allenic (e.g., HCNNH 1, PhCNNH 6, HCNNPh 43, PhCNNCH317, and Ph3C-CNN-CPh334). All nitrile imines isomerize to the corresponding carbodiimides both thermally and photochemically. Monosubstituted carbodiimides isomerize thermally to the corresponding cyanamides (e.g., Ph-N=C=N-H 5 Ph-NH-CN 8), which are therefore the thermal end products for nitrile imines of the types RCNNH and HCNNR. This tautomerization is reversible under flash vacuum thermolysis conditions.
Synthesis of α-aryl nitriles through B(C6F5)3-catalyzed direct cyanation of α-aryl alcohols and thiols
Rajagopal, Gurusamy,Kim, Sung Soo
experimental part, p. 4351 - 4355 (2009/09/30)
Various α-aryl nitriles have been prepared in excellent yield from the corresponding α-aryl alcohols employing 3 mol % of B(C6F5)3 (1) as Lewis acid catalyst and (CH3)3SiCN (TMSCN) as cyanide source. Cyano transfer from TMSCN to alcohol proceeds within short reaction time at rt. α-Aryl thiols also produce corresponding nitriles in good to excellent yield at reflux condition.
