The alkylation of KCN by solid-liquid phase transfer catalysis without added solvent is optimal when a definite amount of water is added.The efficiencies of ten other additives are compared with those of water.

The hydrocyanation of alk-1-enes and ω-unsaturated fatty acid esters using zerovalent nickel complexes yields the corresponding nitriles and cyanoesters, which can be useful starting materials in organic synthesis.
Mechanisms of Polymer-Supported Catalysis. 1. Reaction of 1-Bromooctane with Aqueous Sodium Cyanide Catalyzed by Polystyrene-Bound Benzyltri-n-butylphosphonium Ion

The rate of reaction of 1-bromooctane with aqueous sodium cyanide catalyzed by insoluble polystyrene-bound benzyltri-n-butylphosphonium salts has been studied as a function of the method of mixing of the triphase system, catalyst particle size, degree of polymer cross-linking, solvent, and temperature.Reaction rates increase as the speed of mechanical stirring increases to a maximum rate at 600 rpm.Turbulent vibromixing and ultrasonic mixing do not cause any additional reaction rate increase.Reaction rates increase as catalyst particle sizes decrease, even at the maximum stirring speed.Reaction rates decrease as percent of divinylbenzene cross-linking in the polymer increases from 2percent to 10percent.Reaction rates increase with increasing swelling power of the solvent in the order decane /= 28 times faster than polymer-bound benzyltrimethylammonium when mass transfer and intraparticle diffusion do not limit the rates.

The equilibrium binding or stability constants (K8) between Na+ and oligoethylene glycols , monomethyl ethers , and dimethyl ethers have been determined in anhydrous methanol solution.The ranges of compounds involved are as follows: diols, n = 3-312; monoethers, n = 6-15; diethers, n = 3-21.Although the slopes vary some from species to species, the plot of log K8 vs. log molecular weight is an essentially straight line.There is no peak in binding observed when a particular number of oxygens might be present to provide, for example, an octahedron of donor groups or a quasi-crown coil.The molecular weight is not crucial to the binding since equal weights of different glycols afford the same net sodium binding.This similarity does not extend to reactivity in the liquid-liquid phase-transfer catalytic system in which it appears that one molecule of polyethylene glycol derivative effects one reaction at a time.Thus equal weights of shorter chains are much more effective than longer chain lengths of similar species.

Cross-linked polystyrene supported tertiary amines and amine oxides are found to be a very efficient catalyst for a nucleophilic substitution reaction.The amine oxide resin (MPE-5-AO) was one of the most effective and economical catalysts and can be used several times without the loss of the catalytic activity.

The direct synthesis of amides and nitriles from readily available aldehyde precursors provides access to functional groups of major synthetic utility. To date, most reliable catalytic methods have typically been optimized to supply one product exclusively. Herein, we describe an approach centered on an operationally simple iron-based system that, depending on the reaction conditions, selectively addresses either the C=O or C-H bond of aldehydes. This way, two divergent reaction pathways can be opened to furnish both products in high yields and selectivities under mild reaction conditions. The catalyst system takes advantage of iron's dual reactivity capable of acting as (1) a Lewis acid and (2) a nitrene transfer platform to govern the aldehyde building block. The present transformation offers a rare control over the selectivity on the basis of the iron system's ionic nature. This approach expands the repertoire of protocols for amide and nitrile synthesis and shows that fine adjustments of the catalyst system's molecular environment can supply control over bond activation processes, thus providing easy access to various products from primary building blocks.

A Ni/Co co-catalyzed reductive hydrocyanation of various alkynes was developed for the production of saturated nitriles. Hydrocyanic acid is generated in situ from safe and readily available formamide. Formamide played multiple roles as a cyano source, dehydrant, and reductant for the NiII pre-catalyst and vinyl nitriles, along with acting as the co-solvent in this reaction. Detailed mechanistic investigation supported a pathway via hydrocyanation of C≡C bond and the subsequent reduction of C=C bond. Wide substrate scope, the employment of a cheap and stable nickel salt as pre-catalyst, a safe cyano source and convenient experimental operation render this hydrocyanation practical for the laboratory synthesis of saturated nitriles.

Decarboxylation of low-value fatty acids from biomass is a simple process to produce synthetic fuels suitable to be blended with gasoline or diesel. The present study reports the photocatalytic decarboxylation of octanoic acid in the presence of H2 by a series of modified TiO2 to form mixtures of n-heptane and tetradecane as major products in variable proportions, depending on the photocatalyst and the reaction conditions. It was found that the photocatalytic activity increases upon an optimal reductive NaBH4 treatment, presumably by generation of surface oxygen vacancies and by the deposition of Ni nanoparticles in the appropriate loading. Under the optimized conditions, an almost complete octanoic acid conversion and a combined selectivity to n-heptane and tetradecane over 80 % were reached at 10 h of UV/Vis light irradiation with a 300 W Xe lamp. No changes in the photocatalytic performance were observed for six consecutive runs. The present results illustrate the possibility that photocatalytic decarboxylation offers for the transformation of biomass into synthetic fuels under mild conditions.

A titanium(III)-catalyzed desulfonylation gives access to functionalized alkyl nitrile building blocks from α-sulfonyl nitriles, circumventing traditional base-mediated α-alkylation conditions and strong single electron donors. The reaction tolerates numerous functional groups including free alcohols, esters, amides, and it can be applied also to the α-desulfonylation of ketones. In addition, a one-pot desulfonylative alkylation is demonstrated. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate a catalyst-dependent mechanism involving a homolytic C?S cleavage.

A highly regioselective nickel-based catalyst system for the isomerization/hydrocyanation of aliphatic internal olefins is described. This benign tandem reaction provides facile access to a wide variety of aliphatic nitriles in good yields with excellent regioselectivities. Thanks to Lewis acid-free conditions, the protocol features board functional groups tolerance, including secondary amine and unprotected alcohol groups.
