Transition metal-free electrochemical approaches for the N-cyanation of secondary amines and the α C-cyanation of tertiary amines have been well established, with products being obtained in moderate to good yields and with good functional group tolerance under ambient conditions. The synthetic application of the protocols has been highlighted through scale-up experiments in a galvanostatic mode. Preliminary mechanistic investigation has confirmed that TBAB played a critical role in N-cyanation transformation and has indicated that the transformation might proceed via a free radical process.

N-Cyanation of Secondary Amines Using Trichloroacetonitrile

A one-pot N-cyanation of secondary amines has been developed using trichloroacetonitrile as an inexpensive cyano source. A diverse range of cyclic and acyclic secondary amines can be readily transformed into the corresponding cyanamides in good isolated yields, with the method successfully utilized in the final synthetic step of a biologically active rolipram-derived cyanamide. This approach exhibits distinct selectivity when compared to the use of highly toxic cyanogen bromide.
Phenyl chloro(thionoformate): A new dealkylating agent of tertiary amines

Phenyl chloro(thionoformate) reacts rapidly with unhindered tertiary aliphatic amines at 20° to give a thiocarbamate and an alkyl chloride. Dialkylcyclohexylamines react surprisingly rapidly to form predominantly cyclohexene. The thiocarbamates are converted into the secondary amine salt by treatment with dimethyl sulfate, followed by hydrolysis with water. Rates of reaction and alkyl group cleavage selectivity in amines were found to be superior or comparable to those previously reported with chloroformates.
