cymbopogon spp nitrile a citronellal production process of preparation

The invention relates to a production technology for preparing citronellyl nitrile from citronellal. The technology comprises the following steps: mixing citronellal with isopropanol in a same reaction kettle, controlling the reaction temperature in a range of -5-35DEG C, quickly adding a catalyst and 25% ammonia water, adding an oxidant in a dropwise manner under a controlled speed within 2-4h, neutralizing after the above reaction, carrying out solvent recovery, and purifying to obtain a citronitrile product with the yield of above 83%and the purity of above 97%, wherein the catalyst is chloride, iodide, nitrate or sulfate of copper, cobalt, silver or vanadium, and the oxidant is lead nitrate, manganese dioxide, hydrogen peroxide, ozone, oxygen or chromium trioxide. The technology for preparing citronellyl nitrile from citronellal adopts citronellal as a raw material and isopropanol as a solvent, utilizes a one-pot catalytic ammoxidation reaction technique and optimizes a ratio, so the technology provided by the invention has the advantages of simplified process operation flow, shortened production cycle, reduction of the labor intensity and the production cost, and environmental protection.

High-yield synthesis of nitriles by oxidation of aldehyde N,N- dimethylhydrazones with dimethyldioxirane

Using dimethyldioxirane, the selective transfomation of aldehyde N,N-dimethylhydrazones into the corresponding nitrites was achieved in high yield and under mild conditions. The determination of the substituent effect on rates, along with an estimate of the primary kinetic isotope effect using PhCH=NNMe2 and PhCD=NNMe2 provided useful hints concerning the reaction mechanism. II was also observed that the nitrile products do not undergo further oxidation, even with excess dioxirane.
