, (2020)
The detailed structure of active sites plays an important role for the determination of catalytic performance. Herein, catalytic active sites of M/TiO2 for photocatalytic cyanation of olefins are tuned by delicate manipulation of the metal kinds, metal loading amount and pretreatment processes. It was found that the 0.1% Pt/P25 catalyst reduced at 300 °C possessed high metal dispersion and suitable oxygen defects on TiO2, and thus exhibited the best catalytic performance with high specific speed of time yield and high selectivity. A wide scope of olefin substrates could be converted to the corresponding nitriles with high atom efficiency and anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity under mild conditions for the optimized Pt/P25 catalyst. The reaction mechanism based on radical coupling of acetonitrile and olefins was also discussed. This approach offers an environmental-friendly platform for the selective activation of C-H bonds of acetonitrile and will bring potential applications for hydrofunctionalization of olefins.

Paragraph 0120-0122, (2021/06/21)
The invention provides a method for dehydrating primary amide into nitrile. The method comprises the following steps: mixing primary amide (II), silane, sodium triethylborohydride, aminopyridine imine tridentate nitrogen ligand cobalt complex (I) and a reaction solvent under the protection of inert gas, carrying out reacting at 60-100 DEG C for 6-24 hours, and post-treating reaction liquid to obtain a nitrile compound (III). According to the invention, an effective method for preparing nitrile compounds by cobalt-catalyzed primary amide dehydration reaction by using the novel aminopyridine imine tridentate nitrogen ligand cobalt complex catalyst is provided; and compared with existing methods, the method has the advantages of simple operation, mild reaction conditions, wide application range of reaction substrates, high selectivity, stable catalyst, high efficiency, and relatively high practical application value in synthesis.

The performances of heterogeneous catalysts can be effectively tuned by changing the catalyst structures. Here we report a controllable nitrile synthesis from alcohol ammoxidation, where the nitrile hydration side reaction could be efficiently prevented by changing the manganese oxide catalysts. α-Mn2O3 based catalysts are highly selective for nitrile synthesis, but MnO2-based catalysts including α, β, γ, and δ phases favour the amide production from tandem ammoxidation and hydration steps. Multiple structural, kinetic, and spectroscopic investigations reveal that water decomposition is hindered on α-Mn2O3, thus to switch off the nitrile hydration. In addition, the selectivity-control feature of manganese oxide catalysts is mainly related to their crystalline nature rather than oxide morphology, although the morphological issue is usually regarded as a crucial factor in many reactions.

The Schmidt reaction has been an efficient and widely used synthetic approach to amides and nitriles since its discovery in 1923. However, its application often entails the use of volatile, potentially explosive, and highly toxic azide reagents. Here, we report a sequence whereby triflic anhydride and formic and acetic acids activate the bulk chemical nitromethane to serve as a nitrogen donor in place of azides in Schmidt-like reactions. This protocol further expands the substrate scope to alkynes and simple alkyl benzenes for the preparation of amides and nitriles.
Aerobic dehydrogenation of amines to nitriles catalyzed by triazolylidene ruthenium complexes with O2 as terminal oxidant

, p. 1981 - 1991 (2020/02/21)
Pyridyl-substituted mesoionic triazolylidene ruthenium cymene complexes catalyze the oxidation of both aromatic and aliphatic amines to nitriles with high activity and selectivity under benign conditions using dioxygen as the terminal oxidant. Modification on the pyridyl moiety of the ligand scaffold has negligible effect on the catalytic performance, while substituents on the triazolylidene directly affect the catalytic fitness of the metal center, leading to distinct catalytic profiles. Pre-dissociation of the cymene ligand and formation of a solvento analogue further enhances the catalytic activity towards nitrile formation. Variation of reaction conditions provided valuable mechanistic insights and resulted in a highly efficient protocol for nitrile formation with maximum turnover numbers around 10?000. The turnover frequency reaches up to 400 h-1, providing one of the fastest catalytic systems known to date for this transformation.

There is a strong incentive for environmentally benign and sustainable production of organic nitriles to avoid the use of toxic cyanides. Here we report that manganese oxide nanorod-supported single-site Ru catalysts are active, selective, and stable for oxidative cyanation of various alcohols to give the corresponding nitriles with molecular oxygen and ammonia as the reactants. The very low amount of Ru (0.1 wt %) with atomic dispersion boosts the catalytic performance of manganese oxides. Experimental and theoretical results show how the Ru sites enhance the ammonia resistance of the catalyst, bolstering its performance in alcohol dehydrogenation and oxygen activation, the key steps in the oxidative cyanation. This investigation demonstrates the high efficiency of a single-site Ru catalyst for nitrile production.

A biocatalytic approach toward linear aliphatic nitriles being widely used as industrial bulk chemicals has been developed that runs at high substrate loadings of up to 1.4 kg/L as demonstrated for the synthesis of n-octanenitrile. This substrate loading is one of the highest ever reported in biocatalysis and to best of our knowledge the highest obtained for a water-immiscible product in aqueous medium. It is noteworthy that the biotransformation at such a high substrate loading was achieved by means of a metalloprotein bearing an iron-containing heme subunit in the active site. In detail, an aldoxime dehydratase from Bacillus sp. OxB-1 was used as a biocatalyst for a dehydration of aldoximes as readily available starting materials due to their easy preparation from aliphatic aldehydes through spontaneous condensation with hydroxylamine as bulk chemical. Excellent conversions toward the nitriles in the two-phase system were achieved and the products are easily separated from the reaction mixture without the need for further purification. Aliphatic nitriles are used in industry as solvents and intermediates for the production of surfactants and life sciences products.
