supporting information; experimental part, p. 2808 - 2810 (2011/05/05)
An unprecedented reaction mode of cyanogen bromide has been discovered. Under basic conditions, cyanogen bromide acts as an equivalent of both Br + and CN- to convert enolizable ketones into the corresponding cyanoepoxides in good yields. This unique reaction mode provides new, one-pot access to densely substituted cyanoepoxides from easily available ketones (see scheme). Copyright

The indirect electrolytic oxidation of ketones (1) in methanolic sodium cyanide was studied using iodide ion as a mediator.The product and the reactivity of ketone were dependent on the nature of the alkyl groups attached to the carbonyl group.Thus, 2-alk
