(Equation Presented) Various alkyl and aryl azides, readily obtained from halides or alcohols, were transformed into the corresponding nitrites using bromine trifluoride in moderate to good yields. The reaction is general and gives positive results with aliphatic, aromatic, cyclic, and functionalized azides. It can also be applied to the synthesis of optically active nitriles.
Production of alkyl 6-aminocaproate

Page column 9, (2008/06/13)
A process for making alkyl 6-aminocaproate by hydroformylating 3-pentenenitrile to produce 3-, 4-, and 5-formylvaleronitrile (FVN mixture), converting the FVN mixture to alkyl 3-, 4-, and 5-cyanovalerate by either oxidative esterification of the FVN mixture or oxidation of the FVN mixture followed by esterification; isolating alkyl 5-cyanovalerate; and hydrogenating the alkyl 5-cyanovalerate to produce alkyl 6-aminocaproate. The resulting alkyl 6-aminocaproate can be cyclized to produce caprolactam.
