Deprotonation-alkylation of alkyl cyanides under sonochemical conditions

Deprotonation-alkylation of n-alkyl cyanides can be readily effected by an alkyl halide in the presence of sodium in a one pot procedure. Yields are generally better than in the usual methods, and the overall reaction conditions have important advantages

Wanderungstendenzen cyclischer, polycyclischer und methylverzweigter Alkylreste bei der Beckmann-Umlagerung

The migration aptitudes of polycyclic bridgehead groups, cycloalkyl groups as well as of β-, γ- and δ-branched alkyl groups in the Chapman variant of the Beckmann rearrangement were determined.From these data it is concluded that at transition state 2 the migrating group is not resembling a planarised carbenium ion R+, but rather a pentacoordinated carbonium ion structure.Because only small geometrical changes occur in the migrating group vertical stabilisation of charge at transition state is believed to have significant influence on the migration aptitudes.
