The syntheses of trans-[Ru(C≡C-1-C6H4-4-N=N-1-C6H4-4-C≡C-1-C6H4-4-NO2)Cl(L2)2] (L2=dppm (Ru1), dppe) (Ru2)), trans-[Ru(C≡C-1-C6H4-4-N=N-1-C6H4-4-(E)-CH=CH-1-C6H4-4-NO2)Cl(dppe)2] (Ru3), and trans-[Ru(C≡C-1-C6H4-4-(E)-CH=CH-1-C6H2-2,6-Et2-4-N=N-1-C6H4-4-NO2)Cl(dppe)2] (Ru4) are reported, together with those of precursor alkynes. Their electrochemical properties were assessed by cyclic voltammetry (CV), linear optical and quadratic nonlinear optical (NLO) properties assayed by UV/Vis-NIR spectroscopy and hyper-Rayleigh scattering studies at 1064 nm, respectively, and their linear optical properties in the formally RuIII state examined by UV/Vis-NIR spectroelectrochemistry. These data were compared to those of analogues with E-ene and yne linkages in place of the azo groups. Computational studies using time-dependent density functional theory were undertaken on model compounds (Ru2′–Ru4′) to rationalize the optical behaviour of the experimental complexes.

A methodology for the preparation of nitriles from aldehydes by means of an oxidative functionalisation reaction is reported. It employs ammonium persulfate as both the primary oxidant and the nitrogen source, and a catalytic amount of a nitroxide. It is applicable to a range of structurally diverse (hetero)aromatic aldehydes furnishing the nitrile products in 30-97% isolated yield. Given the ready accessibility of aldehydes and that ammonium persulfate is cheap and less toxic than many other reagents for generating nitriles, this methodology offers a simple and easy to use approach to this valuable class of compounds.

Herein, we designed a simple nitrile synthesis from N-[(2-nitrophenyl)sulfonyl]benzamides via base-promoted intramolecular nucleophilic aromatic substitution. The process features redox-neutral conditions as well as no requirement of toxic cyanide species and transition metals. Our process shows broad scope and various functional group compatibility, affording a variety of (hetero)aromatic nitriles in good to excellent yields.

Pd(OAc)2/XPhos–SO3Na in a mixture of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-400) and water is shown to be a highly efficient catalyst for the cyanation of aryl chlorides with potassium ferrocyanide. The reaction proceeded smoothly at 100 or 120?oC with K2CO3 or KOAc as base, delivering a variety of aromatic nitriles in good to excellent yields. The isolation of the crude products is facilely performed by extraction with cyclohexane and more importantly, both expensive Pd(OAc)2 and XPhos–SO3Na in PEG-400/H2O system could be easily recycled and reused at least six times without any apparent loss of catalytic efficiency. Graphical Abstract: Palladium-catalyzed cyanation of aryl chlorides with potassium ferrocyanide leading to aryl nitriles by using Pd(OAc)2/XPhos–SO3Na/PEG-400/H2O as a highly efficient and recyclable catalytic system is described.[Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Abstract: Pd–N-heterocyclic carbine complex immobilized on magnetic nanoparticles is synthesized and characterized by different techniques such as FT-IR, XPS, TEM, EDX, FESEM, VSM, TGA, and ICP. The synthesized catalyst was used as a new water dispersible heterogeneous catalyst in the fluoride-free Hiyama, Suzuki–Miyaura and cyanation reactions in pure water. By this method, different types of biaryls and aryl nitriles were synthesized in good to high yields by the reaction of a variety of aryl iodides, bromides and chlorides with triethoxyphenylsilane, phenylboronic acid and K4[Fe(CN)6]·3H2O, respectively. The presence of sulfonates as hydrophilic groups on the surface of the catalyst confers a highly water dispersible, active and yet magnetically recoverable Pd catalyst. The possibility to perform the reaction in water as a green medium, ease of the catalyst recovery and reuse by magnetic separation, and the absence of any additives or co-solvents make this method as an eco-friendly and economical protocol for the synthesis of biaryl derivatives and aryl nitriles. Graphic Abstract: A new water dispersible heterogeneous Pd–N-heterocyclic carbene for the efficient fluoride-free Hiyama, Suzuki–Miyaura and cyanation reactions in pure water is developed.[Figure not available: see fulltext.].

In this work, without using any linker or chemical modification of graphene oxide, a zinc oxide immobilized graphene oxide-based catalyst was used for the direct aerobic oxidative conversion of alcohols to the nitriles in water. In the first step, graphene oxide was prepared and then zinc ions were electrostatically adsorbed onto the surface of graphene oxide. In the following step, zinc oxide nanoparticles were generated via in-situ growth in presence of NaOH. It was illustrated that graphene oxide layers can control the size of in-situ generated zinc oxide nanoparticles. Various aromatic/aliphatic/heteroaromatic primary alcohols converted to the nitriles in high yields under O2 balloon with ZnO/GO catalyst. This catalyst can be used for 7 successful consecutive runs without significant loss of activity. Graphic Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

An efficient method for catalyzing the ammoxidation of aromatic alcohols to aromatic nitriles was developed, in which a new heterogeneous catalyst based on transition metal elements was employed, the new catalyst was named Co-[Bmim]Br/C-700 and then characterized by X-ray photo-electronic spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. The reaction was carried out by two consecutive dehydrogenations under the catalysis of Co-[Bmim]Br/C-700, which catalytically oxidized the alcohol to the aldehyde, and then the aldehyde was subjected to ammoxidation to the nitrile. The catalyst system was suitable for a wide range of substrates and nitriles obtained in high yields, especially, the conversion rate of benzyl alcohol, 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol, 4-chlorobenzyl alcohol and 4-nitrobenzyl alcohol reached 100%. The substitution of ammonia and oxygen for toxic cyanide to participate in the reaction accords with the theory of green chemistry.

Cyanation of aryl iodides is still challenging work for chemical researchers because of harsh reaction conditions and toxic cyanide sources. Herein, we have developed a new protocol based on the combination of the catalyst Pd@CeO2, nontoxic cyanide source K4[Fe (CN)6]·3H2O, and driving force visible light irradiation. The reaction is operated at relatively moderate temperature (55°C) and exhibits good catalytic efficiency of product aryl nitriles (yields of 89.4%). Moreover, the catalyst Pd@CeO2 possesses good reusability with a slight loss of photocatalytic activity after five consecutive runs. The reaction system based on the above combination shows a wide range of functional group tolerance under the same conditions. Reaction conditions such as temperature, time, the component of catalyst, and solutions are optimized by studying cyanation of 1-iodo-4-nitrobenzene as model reaction. According to these results, the possible mechanism of Pd@CeO2-catalyzed cyanation of aryl iodides under visible light irradiation is proposed based on the influence of visible light on the catalyst and reactant compounds. In all, we provided an environmental and economic method for preparation of aryl nitriles from cyanation of aryl iodides based on the goal of green chemistry for sustainable development.

A photoinduced iron-catalyzed ipso-nitration of aryl halides with KNO2 has been developed, in which aryl iodides, bromides, and some of aryl chlorides are feasible. The mechanism investigations show that the in situ formed iron complex by FeSO4, KNO2, and 1,10-phenanthroline acts as the light-harvesting photocatalyst with a longer lifetime of the excited state, and the reaction undergoes a photoinduced single-electron transfer (SET) process. This work represents an example for the photoinduced iron-catalyzed Ullmann-type couplings.
Process Development of the Copper(II)-Catalyzed Dehydration of a Chiral Aldoxime and Rational Selection of the Co-Substrate

The access towards chiral nitriles remains crucial in the synthesis of several pharmaceuticals. One approach is based on metal-catalyzed dehydration of chiral aldoximes, which are generated from chiral pool-derived aldehydes as substrates, and the use of a cheap and readily available nitrile as co-substrate and water acceptor. Dehydration of N-acyl α-amino aldoximes such as N-Boc-l-prolinal oxime catalyzed by copper(II) acetate provides access to the corresponding N-acyl α-amino nitriles, which are substructures of the pharmaceuticals Vildagliptin and Saxagliptin. In this work, a detailed investigation of the formation of the amide as a by-product at higher substrate loadings is performed. The amide formation depends on the electronic properties of the nitrile co-substrate. We could identify an acceptor nitrile which completely suppressed amide formation at high substrate loadings of 0.5 m even when being used with only 2 equivalents. In detail, utilization of trichloroacetonitrile as such an acceptor nitrile enabled the synthesis of N-Boc-cyanopyrrolidine in a high yield of 92 % and with full retention of the absolute configuration.
