Usage

General Description

2-Methyloctanenitrile, also known as 2-Methyloctanitrile, is a colorless liquid with a faint, pleasant odor. It is used as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of various compounds, such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and perfumes. It is also used as a solvent in organic synthesis and as a reagent in chemical reactions. It is a highly flammable substance and should be handled with care. Its chemical formula is C9H19N, and it has a molecular weight of 141.25 g/mol. The substance is considered to have low toxicity, but it can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system upon contact or inhalation. Additionally, prolonged or repeated exposure may cause adverse health effects. Therefore, proper safety precautions should be taken when working with 2-Methyloctanenitrile.

Ni-Catalyzed Isomerization-Hydrocyanation Tandem Reactions: Access to Linear Nitriles from Aliphatic Internal Olefins

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.

Radical cyanation of alkyl iodides with diethylphosphoryl cyanide

The β-elimination of an organophosphoryl group from an iminyl radical is observed for the first time. On the basis of this finding, radical cyanation of alkyl iodides is achieved by using diethylphosphoryl cyanide. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
