, (2019/09/04)
Various aromatic nitriles could be obtained in good yields by the treatment of aryl bromides with n-butyllithium and then pivalonitrile, followed by the treatment with molecular iodine at 70 °C, without metal cyanides under transition-metal-free conditions. The present reaction proceeds through the radical β-elimination of imino-nitrogen-centered radicals formed from the reactions of imines and N-iodoimines under warming conditions.

Li and co-workers describe the catalytic cyanation of organic halides with CO2 and NH3. In the presence of Cu2O/DABCO as the catalyst, a variety of aromatic bromides and iodides were transformed to the desired nitrile products with broad functional-group tolerance. Both 13C- and/or 15N-labeled nitriles were obtained conveniently with appropriately isotope-labeled CO2 and NH3. Construction of functionalized chemical compounds from small molecules in a highly selective and efficient manner is crucial for sustainable development. The chemical-based manufacturing sector of the future should aim to produce chemicals from very simple and abundant resources, just as nature uses CO2 and N2 to generate sugars, amino acids, and so forth. In practice, however, the utilization of CO2 for the generation of industrial products, such as drugs and related intermediates, still remains a major challenge. Here, we describe the facile cyanide-free production of high-value nitriles with CO2 and NH3 as the sole sources of carbon and nitrogen, respectively. This practical and catalytic methodology provides a unique strategy for the utilization of small molecules for sustainable and cost-effective applications. Selective cyanation of aryl halides was achieved with CO2 and NH3 as the only sources of carbon and nitrogen, respectively. In the presence of Cu catalysts under low pressure (3 atm), a variety of aromatic iodides and bromides were transformed to the desired nitrile products without the use of toxic metal cyanides. Notably, olefins, esters, amides, alcohols, and amino groups were tolerated. Mechanistic studies suggest that Cu(III)-aryl insertion by isocyanate intermediates is involved. [13C,15N]-labeled nitriles were conveniently accessible from the respective isotope-labeled CO2 and NH3 via this methodology.

Generation of useful arylnitrile structures from simple aromatic feedstock chemicals represents a fundamentally important reaction in chemical synthesis. The first nickel-catalyzed cyanation of phenol derivatives with metal-free cyanating agents, aminoacetonitriles, is described. A nickel-based catalytic system consisting of a unique diphosphine ligand such as dcype or dcypt enables the cyanation of versatile phenol derivatives such as aryl carbamates and aryl pivalates. The use of aminoacetonitriles as a cyanating agent leads to an environmentally and easy-to-use method for arylnitrile synthesis.

On the basis of our recently reported aniline aqueous borylation, molecular diversity was achieved in a one-pot process by combining other reactions such as esterification, Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, hydrogenolysis, or Petasis borono-Mannich.
Practical one-pot conversion of aryl bromides and β-bromostyrenes into aromatic nitriles and cinnamonitriles

, p. 1462 - 1469 (2013/02/25)
Various aryl bromides were efficiently converted into the corresponding aromatic nitriles in good yields by the treatment with Mg turnings and subsequently DMF, followed by treatment with molecular iodine and aq NH 3. The same treatment of aryl bromides, which are weakly reactive to Mg turnings, with iPrMgCl·LiCl and subsequently DMF, followed by the treatment with molecular iodine and aq NH3 also afforded the corresponding aromatic nitriles in good yields. On the other hand, when N-formylpiperidine was used instead of DMF, p-substituted β-bromostyrenes were converted into the corresponding p-substituted cinnamonitriles, i.e., α,β-unsaturated nitriles, in good to moderate yields by the same procedure. The reactions were carried out by means of a simple experimental procedure and did not require any toxic metal cyanides or expensive rare metals. Therefore, the present reactions are practical and environmentally benign one-pot methods for the preparation of aromatic nitriles, cinnamonitriles, and aliphatic nitriles from aryl bromides, β-bromostyrenes, and alkyl bromides, respectively, through the formation of Grignard reagents and their DMF or N-formylpiperidine adducts.

Various aromatic bromides and iodides were smoothly converted into the corresponding aromatic nitriles in good to moderate yields by the treatment with n-butyllithium and subsequently DMF, followed by treatment with molecular iodine in aq NH3. The same treatment of typical aromatics and heteroaromatics with n-butyllithium and subsequently DMF, followed by treatment with molecular iodine in aq NH3 also provided the corresponding aromatic nitriles in good yields. Moreover, the same treatment of aromatic bromides and aromatics with half amount of DIH (1,3-diiodo-5,5- dimethylhydantoin) instead of molecular iodine worked effectively to give the corresponding aromatic nitriles, respectively, in good yields. These reactions are novel and environmentally benign one-pot methods for the preparation of aromatic nitriles from aromatic bromides and aromatics, respectively, through the formation of aryllithiums and their DMF adducts.

experimental part, p. 11311 - 11319 (2010/11/04)
Instantaneous catalytic carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions were achieved in catalytic membrane-installed microchannel devices that have a polymeric palladium-complex membrane. The catalytic membrane-installed microchannel devices were provided inside the microchannels by means of coordinative and ionic molecular convolution at the interface between the organic and aqueous phases flowing laminarly, in which both non-crosslinked linear polymer ligands and palladium species dissolved. The palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reaction of aryl, heteroaryl, and alkenyl halides with arylboronic acids and sodium tetraarylborates was performed with the catalytic membrane-installed microchannel devices to give quantitative yields of biaryls, heterobiaryls, and aryl alkenes within 5 s of residence time in the defined channel region. These microchannel devices were applied to the instantaneous allylic aryla-tion reaction of allylic esters with aryl-boron reagents under microflow conditions to afford the corresponding coupling products within 1 s of residence time.

, p. 8301 - 8316 (2007/10/02)
The palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides with aryl(halo)silanes (halogen=F, Cl) gives good yields of unsymmetrical biaryls and p-terphenyls.The reaction takes place smoothly in N,N-dimethylformamide in the presence of an appropriate palladium catalyst and potassium fluoride.Since this reaction is tolerant of a variety of reactive functional groups, highly functionalized 4,4'-, 3,4'-, 2,4'- and even sterically crowded 2,2'-disubstituted biaryls can be obtained in moderate to high yields.The synthetic utility of the method has been demonstrated by its application to a short synthesis of liquid crystals.Mechanistic aspects of transmetalation of an aryl(fluoro)silicate intermediate with a palladium complex are discussed on the basis of the substituent effects on the rate of the cross-coupling reactions.

Processes for preparing 2,3-dihydro-1,3-dialkyl-2,2-dialkyl perimidines and N,N'-dialkyl-1,8-naphthalene diamines are disclosed. The 2,3-dihydro-1,3-dialkyl-2,2-dialkyl perimidines are prepared by alkylating 2,3-dihydro-2,2-dialkyl perimidines with an alkylating agent in a water miscible organic solvent at room temperature to 80° C. in the presence of water and an inorganic base. N,N'-dialkyl-1,8-naphthalene diamines are prepared by hydrolyzing the 2,3-dihydro-1,3-dialkyl-2,2-dialkyl perimidines with strong aqueous acid in an aqueous organic solvent and removing a ketone by-product and the aqueous organic solvent by codistillation.

Liquid crystals of the 4-alkyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl group were synthesized without the use of copper cyanide. 4-Alkyl-4'-formylbiphenyls and the 4-formyloximes of 4'-alkylbiphenyl, which possess a liquid-crystalline state, were isolated.Beginning with the pentyl homolog, they form an enantiotropic nematic phase, and beginning with octyl homolog they also form a smectic meso phase.
