This report presents the visible-light-assisted synthesis of aryl nitriles from easily accessible alcohols or methyl arenes in the presence of O2. Organic photoredox catalyst, 4CzIPN (1,2,3,5-tetrakis(carbazol-9-yl)-4,6-dicyanobenzene), induces single electron transfer (SET) from azide N3? and generates azide radical N3?.The photogenerated N3? abstracts H atom from α-C?H bond of benzylic system, which provides aldehyde and hydrazoic acid (HN3) in situ. This reaction subsequently forms azido alcohol intermediate that transforms into nitrile with the assistance of triflic acid (Br?nsted acid). A range of alcohols and methyl arenes successfully underwent cyanation at room temperature with good to excellent yields and showed good functional group tolerance.

Herein, we report a protocol for desulfonylation of aza-heteroaromatic rings via photoinduced electron transfer and hydrogen atom transfer. This general protocol has a wide substrate range and moderate to good yields. The utility of the method was demonstrated by the chemoselective desulfonylation of a molecule containing both an aliphatic and an aromatic sulfonamide. (Figure presented.).
A simple synthesis of nitriles from aldoximes

experimental part, p. 3079 - 3084 (2009/08/08)
Easily synthesized aldoximes have been converted to the corresponding nitriles under very mild conditions by a simple reaction with lH-benzotriazol-l-yloxytris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP) and DBU in CH2CI2, THF, or DMF. As an alternative reagent that eliminates the formation of hexamethylphosphoramide as a byproduct, use of lH-benzotriazol-lyl-4-methylbenzenesulfonate (Bt-OTs) and DBU was investigated. Reactions with this reagent also proceeded smoothly and in good yields, although in one case N-sulfonylation was observed. An attempt to gain mechanistic insight into the BOP-mediated reaction has been made using 31P{ 1H} NMR. However, no phosphorus-bearing intermediate could be readily observed. Finally, the method has been applied to the synthesis of an antiviral 4'-cyano adenosine analogue from a commercial precursor using a single saccharide protecting group.
