The invention discloses a preparation method of an alkyl nitrile compound shown as formula I. The preparation method comprises the following step: in a solvent, in the presence of an additive and a catalyst, Zn (CN) 2 and an alkyl halide shown as formula II are subjected to a coupling reaction as shown in the specification to obtain the alkyl nitrile compound as shown in the formula I, wherein theadditive comprises an alkali, the catalyst comprises a nickel compound and a phosphine ligand; the nickel compound is one or more of zero-valent nickel, monovalent nickel salt and divalent nickel salt; when the nickel compound contains zero-valent nickel or divalent nickel salt, the catalyst further comprises a reducing agent. According to the preparation method disclosed by the invention, cyanation of an alkyl halide can be simply, conveniently and efficiently realized by using a cheap catalytic system, and the preparation method also has good functional group compatibility and substrate universality.

An electrochemical aliphatic C-H amination strategy was developed to access the important heterocyclic motifs of pyrrolidines and piperidines within a uniform reaction protocol. The mechanism of this unprecedented C-H amination strategy involves anodic C-H activation to generate a benzylic cation, which is efficiently trapped by a nitrogen nucleophile. The applicability of the process is demonstrated for 40 examples comprising both 5- and 6-membered ring formations.

A nickel-catalyzed cyanation of unactivated secondary alkyl chlorides or bromides using less toxic Zn(CN)2 as the cyanide source has been developed. The reaction features the use of air-stable and inexpensive NiCl2·6H2O or Ni(acac)2 as the precatalysts and offers an efficient synthesis of a broad range of alkyl nitriles. Cyanation of primary alkyl chlorides or bromides was also achieved by reaction with Zn(CN)2 in the presence of n-Bu4NCl without the need of nickel catalyst.

We have recently reported that, in the presence of light and a copper catalyst, nitrogen nucleophiles such as carbazoles and primary amides undergo C-N coupling with alkyl halides under mild conditions. In the present study, we establish that photoinduced, copper-catalyzed alkylation can also be applied to C-C bond formation, specifically, that the cyanation of unactivated secondary alkyl chlorides can be achieved at room temperature to afford nitriles, an important class of target molecules. Thus, in the presence of an inexpensive copper catalyst (CuI; no ligand coadditive) and a readily available light source (UVC compact fluorescent light bulb), a wide array of alkyl halides undergo cyanation in good yield. Our initial mechanistic studies are consistent with the hypothesis that an excited state of [Cu(CN)2]- may play a role, via single electron transfer, in this process. This investigation provides a rare example of a transition metal-catalyzed cyanation of an alkyl halide, as well as the first illustrations of photoinduced, copper-catalyzed alkylation with either a carbon nucleophile or a secondary alkyl chloride.
