Evidence for the radical polymerisation of nitrile groups in polyacrylonitrile has been sought using model compounds.No evidence for the cycloaddition of iminyls to nitrile groups has been obtained but nucleophilic addition occured easily.Thus, 1,8-dicyan

Organozinc compounds derived from α-bromonitriles are readily prepared in solution in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and exist in the C metallated form. They condense normally with aldehydes and saturated ketones. A number of new β-hydroxy-nitriles are described. The addition of conjugated unsaturated ketones results in the formation of β-hydroxynitriles or ketonitriles, depending on the nature of the initial bromonitrile. The stereochemistry of the reaction of benzaldehyde with zinc-α-bromonitrile is not influenced by the nature of the solvent. Condensation with diethyl-malonate alkylidenes lead to the expected 1,4-addition products.
