Usage

General Description

Homophthalonitrile is an organic compound with the chemical formula C9H6N2. Homophthalonitrile is an aromatic nitrile, part of the group of chemicals that contain a cyano group (-C≡N) attached directly to an aromatic moiety. It is used in various research and industrial processes as chemical intermediates, likely due to its distinct chemical structure that allows reactions at multiple sites. Its potential hazard may include irritation and sensitization of the skin and eyes. As with all chemicals, appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling homophthalonitrile.

Titanium(III)-Catalyzed Reductive Decyanation of Geminal Dinitriles by a Non-Free-Radical Mechanism

A titanium-catalyzed mono-decyanation of geminal dinitriles is reported. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions, tolerates numerous functional groups, and can be applied to quaternary malononitriles. A corresponding desulfonylation is demonstrated as well. Mechanistic experiments support a catalyst-controlled cleavage without the formation of free radicals, which is in sharp contrast to traditional stoichiometric radical decyanations. The involvement of two TiIII species in the C?C cleavage is proposed, and the beneficial role of added ZnCl2 and 2,4,6-collidine hydrochloride is investigated.
