A large number of efficient cyanation methods have been developed because of the wide range of applications of nitriles, but conventional methods usually suffer from the need for a toxic cyanation reagent. Although difluorocarbene chemistry has received increasing attention, the use of difluorocarbene as a sources of the nitrile carbon for nitrile groups remains largely unexplored. We describe a difluorocarbene-based cyanation of aryl iodides promoted by a cheap copper source, Cu(NO 3) 2 ·2.5H 2 O, under an air atmosphere. Ph 3 P + CF 2 CO 2-, an easily available and shelf-stable difluorocarbene reagent, and NaNH 2 are used as the carbon source and the nitrogen source for the nitrile group, respectively. The cyanation protocol is attractive because no toxic reagent is used and performing the reactions under an air atmosphere is operationally convenient.

Polystyrene sulfonate polymer brushes, grown on the interior of the microchannels in a microreactor, have been used for the anchoring of gallium as a Lewis acid catalyst. Initially, gallium-containing polymer brushes were grown on a flat silicon oxide surface and were characterized by FTIR, ellipsometry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). XPS revealed the presence of one gallium per 2-3 styrene sulfonate groups of the polymer brushes. The catalytic activity of the Lewis acid-functionalized brushes in a microreactor was demonstrated for the dehydration of oximes, using cinnamaldehyde oxime as a model substrate, and for the formation of oxazoles by ring closure of ortho-hydroxy oximes. The catalytic activity of the microreactor could be maintained by periodic reactivation by treatment with GaCl3.

(Figure Presented) A new method allowing the 14C-labeling of carboxylic acid functions of carbon nanotubes is described. The key step of the labeling process is a decarbonylation reaction that has been developed and optimized with the help of a screening method. The optimized process has been successfully applied to multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), and the corresponding 14C-labeled nanotubes were used to investigate their in vivo behavior. Preliminary results obtained after i.v. contamination of rats revealed liver as the main target organ. Radiolabeling of NTs with a long-life radioactive nucleus like 14C, coupled to a highly sensitive autoradiographic method, that provides a unique detection threshold, will make it possible to determine for a long time period whether or not NTs remain in any organs after animal exposure.

An efficient and ligand-free palladium-catalyzed exchange reaction to synthesize aryl nitriles by using α-iminonitrile as a starting reagent has been developed. This methodology provides an optional method for the synthesis of aryl nitriles with moderate to good yields. At the same time, this approach is adaptable for many substrates.

The free enthalpy dependence of the free-radical yield ΦR of the electron-transfer (ET) fluorescence quenching was studied in acetonitrile by using anthracenecarbonitriles as the electron-accepting fluorescer and 1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadienes as the electron-donating quencher. ΦR decreases, passes through a minimum, increases with increase of ΔGf, the free enthalpy change involved in the actual ET process, and then suddenly falls when ΔGf goes beyond -0.25 eV.Switchover of the quenching mechanism was suggested for the ET fluorescence quenching: The radical pairs are exclusively produced by the full ET in the encounter state bet ween the fluorescer and the quencher when ΔGf is smaller than -0.4 eV, but in contrast through the partial ET, i.e., the exciplex formation as the primary quenching products when ΔGf is larger than -0.4 eV.

Readily available CuO was demonstrated to be effective as the catalyst for the conversion of arylacetic acids to aromatic nitriles with non-toxic and inexpensive K4Fe(CN)6 as the nitrogen source via the complete cleavage of the C[tbnd]N triple bond. The present method allowed a series of arylacetic acids including phenylacetic acids, naphthaleneacetic acids, 2-thiopheneacetic acid and 2-furanacetic acid to be converted into the targeted products in low to high yields.

Nitrogen transfer from cyanide anion to an aldehyde is emerging as a promising method for the synthesis of aromatic nitriles. However, this method still suffers from a disadvantage that a use of stoichiometric Cu(II) or Cu(I) salts is required to enable the reaction. As we report herein, we overcame this drawback and developed a catalytic method for nitrogen transfer from cyanide anion to an alcohol via the complete cleavage of the C≡N triple bond using phen/Cu2O as the catalyst. The present condition allowed a series of benzyl alcohols to be smoothly converted into aromatic nitriles in moderate to high yields. In addition, the present method could be extended to the conversion of cinnamic alcohol to 3-phenylacrylonitrile.
