, p. 351 - 357 (2012)
Plant samples of Hornungia petraea were analyzed for glucosinolate (GLS) autolysis metabolites for the first time. GC-MS analysis of the autolysate and the synthesis of a series (12 compounds) of possible glucosinolate breakdown products revealed/corroborated the presence of glucoaubrietin, glucolimnanthin, glucolepigramin and glucotropaeolin in this species as the most likely "mustard oil" precursors. GLS degradation products identified in the autolysate of H. petraea, benzyl isothiocyanate, 3- and 4-methoxybenzyl isothiocyanate, along with several other structurally related compounds were evaluated for antimicrobial activity in order to possibly pinpoint the role of the latter secondary metabolites in the plant tissues. The assays showed a very high antibacterial activity of the tested isothiocyanates against Sarcina lutea and an antifungal effect against Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans with MIC values in the order of 1 μg/ml value.

Triphenylphosphine and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone afford an adduct, which in the presence of n-Bu4NCN converts alcohols, thiols, and trimethylsilyl ethers into their corresponding alkyl cyanides in good to excellent yields at room tem

Aldehydes and ketones were hydrogenated to the corresponding alcohols, which were then transformed in situ into their respective iodides and nitriles in good yields. A structurally well-defined O-containing transition metal complex, Ru (TMHD)3, was found to be the active catalyst for hydrogenation, iodination and cyanation reactions. It has high affinity for the transformation of benzylic alcohols to iodides and nitriles.

Sera, Akira,Tani, Hiroyuki,Nishiguchi, Ikuzo,Hirashima, Tsuneaki
, p. 631 - 633 (1987)
Electroreduction of 1-nitro-1-alkenes in the presence of titanium(IV) chloride affords nitriles in good yields.This procedure provides a facile transformation of aldehydes to one-carbon elongated nitriles since the 1-nitro-1-alkenes are best prepared from aldehydes and nitromethane.

Soltani Rad, Mohammad Navid,Khalafi-Nezhad, Ali,Behrouz, Somayeh,Faghihi, Mohammad Ali
, p. 6779 - 6784 (2007)
A convenient and efficient one-pot preparation of nitriles from alcohols using N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)imidazole (TsIm) is described. In this method, treatment of alcohols with a mixture of NaCN, TsIm and triethylamine in the presence of catalytic amounts of tetra-n-butylammonium iodide (TBAI) in refluxing DMF furnishes the corresponding alkyl nitriles in good yields. This methodology is highly efficient for various structurally diverse alcohols with selectivity for ROH: 1° > 2° > 3°.

A heterogeneous palladium catalyst hybridised with a titanium dioxide photocatalyst for direct C-C bond formation between an aromatic ring and acetonitrile
Yoshida, Hisao,Fujimura, Yuki,Yuzawa, Hayato,Kumagai, Jun,Yoshida, Tomoko
, p. 3793 - 3795 (2013)
A palladium catalyst hybridised with a titanium dioxide photocatalyst can promote cyanomethylation of an aromatic ring by using acetonitrile, where the photocatalyst activates acetonitrile to form a cyanomethyl radical before the C-C bond formation using the palladium catalyst.

The ability of chalcogenium salts to transfer an electrophilic moiety to a given nucleophile is well known. However, up to date, these reagents have been used in stoichiometric quantities, producing a substantial amount of waste as byproducts of the reaction. In this report, we disclose further investigation of selenonium salts as S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) surrogates for the alkylation of nucleophiles in aqueous solutions. Most importantly, we were able to convert the stoichiometric process to a catalytic system employing as little as 10 mol % of selenides to accelerate the reaction between benzyl bromide and other alkylating agents with sodium cyanide in water. Probe experiments including 77Se NMR and HRMS of the reaction mixture have unequivocally shown the presence of the selenonium salt in the reaction mixture. (Figure presented.).

α-(Hetero)aryl nitriles are important structural motifs for pharmaceutical design. The known methods for direct synthesis of these compounds via coupling with (hetero)aryl halides suffer from narrow reaction scope. Herein, we report that the combination of copper salts and oxalic diamides enables the coupling of a variety of (hetero)aryl halides (Cl, Br) and ethyl cyanoacetate under mild conditions, affording α-(hetero)arylacetonitriles via one-pot decarboxylation. Additionally, the CuBr/oxalic diamide catalyzed coupling of (hetero)aryl bromides with α-alkyl-substituted ethyl cyanoacetates proceeds smoothly at 60 °C, leading to the formation of α-alkyl (hetero)arylacetonitriles after decarboxylation. The method features a general substrate scope and is compatible with various functionalities and heteroaryls.

A metal-free, mild and chemodivergent transformation involving nitroalkanes has been developed. Under optimized reaction conditions, in the presence of trichlorosilane and a tertiary amine, aliphatic nitroalkanes were selectively converted into amines or nitriles. Furthermore, when chiral β-substituted nitro compounds were reacted, the stereochemical integrity of the stereocenter was maintained and α-functionalized nitriles were obtained with no loss of enantiomeric excess. The methodology was successfully applied to the synthesis of chiral β-cyano esters, α-aryl alkylnitriles, and TBS-protected cyanohydrins, including direct precursors of four active pharmaceutical ingredients (ibuprofen, tembamide, aegeline and denopamine).
