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.
OXIDATIVE CONVERSION OF ALIPHATIC ALDEHYDES TO NITRILES USING OXOAMMONIUM SALT

Paragraph 0055-0063; 0136-0142, (2019/12/10)
The present invention relates to an oxidative transformation method of aliphatic benzaldehydes to nitriles using NH_4OAc through oxoammonium salts. By using stoichiometric amounts of oxoammonium salts to establish optimal reaction conditions associated with the oxidative conversion of aliphatic benzaldehydes to nitriles, high yields of nitrile can be selectively obtained, and the oxoammonium salts used can be oxidized and reused in a simple method.COPYRIGHT KIPO 2020

Catalytic transfer hydrocyanation represents a clean and safe alternative to hydrocyanation processes using toxic HCN gas. Such reactions provide access to pharmaceutically important nitrile derivatives starting with alkenes and alkynes. Herein, an efficient and practical cooperative palladium/Lewis acid-catalyzed transfer hydrocyanation of alkenes and alkynes is presented using 1-methylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1-carbonitrile as a benign and readily available HCN source. A large set of nitrile derivatives (>50 examples) are prepared from both aliphatic and aromatic alkenes with good to excellent anti-Markovnikov selectivity. A range of aliphatic alkenes engage in selective hydrocyanation to provide the corresponding nitriles. The introduced method is useful for chain walking hydrocyanation of internal alkenes to afford terminal nitriles in good regioselectivities. This protocol is also applicable to late-stage modification of bioactive molecules.
