Superparamagnetic iron oxide as an efficient catalyst for the one-pot, solvent-free synthesis of α-aminonitriles

Superparamagnetic Fe3O4 is shown to act as a very efficient catalyst for the one-pot, three-component synthesis of α-aminonitriles from aldehydes, amines, and TMSCN. The catalyst is easily recovered by the use of an external magnet and reused in several reactions without any noticeable loss of activity. The products are obtained rapidly at room temperature in good purity upon separation of the catalyst and evaporation of the volatiles of the reaction mixture.

One-Pot Synthesis of α-Amino Nitrile Units through Alkylative Strecker Cyanation from Formamides

In this work, we describe the one-pot synthesis of α-amino nitrile units by the concomitant addition of alkyl (or aryl) Grignard reagents and TMS cyanide through alkylative Strecker cyanation from readily available formamides. The reaction is broad in sco

Magnetically separable g-C3N4 hybrid nanocomposite: Highly efficient and eco-friendly recyclable catalyst for one-pot synthesis of α-aminonitriles

A magnetically separable graphitic carbon nitride nanocomposite (Fe3O4/g-C3N4) as a catalyst for the three-component condensation reactions of carbonyl compounds, amines and trimethylsilylcyanide was thoroughly investigated. The reaction of these three components was found to be efficient, economical and green and took place in the presence of a catalytic amount of the magnetically separable catalyst to yield the corresponding α-aminonitriles in good to excellent yields. The prepared nanocomposite was characterized using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies. The nanocomposite was also found to be reusable could be recovered easily and reused several times without distinct deterioration in its catalytic activity.

One-pot, solvent-free synthesis of α-aminonitriles under catalysis by magnesium bromide ethyl etherate

A three-component, efficient, and facile procedure has been developed for the synthesis of α-aminonitriles from aldehydes, amines, and trimethylsilyl cyanide using a catalytic amount of magnesium bromide ethyl etherate in the absence of solvent. Rapid formation of products is observed at room temperature in a one-pot procedure under very mild conditions giving excellent yields of the title compounds.

Steric Inhibition of Synergistic Radical Stabilizing Effects

Equilibrium acidities in Me2SO for 14 α-N-morpholinyl-, 6 α-N-piperidinyl-, and 7 α-cyclohexylarylacetonitriles and the oxidation potentials of their conjugate bases have been determined.The increased pKHA values by about 2 units observed in these systems, relative to the corresponding arylacetonitriles, is ascribed to the presence of increased steric constraints in the anions.Hammett plots revealed larger ρ values than for arylacetonitriles (6-7 versus 5.5), pointing to an increased negative charge density on the benzylic carbon atoms in the anions.A plot of anion oxidation potentials, Eox(A-), versus pKHA for the α-N-morpholinylarylacetonitriles was linear with a slope near unity, showing that remote substituents for the most part have very little effect on radical stabilities.A 5 and 6 kcal/mol lowering of the BDE of the acidic C-H bond caused by replacing the cyclohexyl group in α-cyclohexylphenylacetonitrile by α-N-morpholinyl or N-piperidinyl groups, respectively, is attributed to the strong donor properties of these amino functions.The effects are only about one-third as large, however, as similar effects in R2NCH2COPh, where the steric effect of Ph is absent and a synergistic effect is believed to be operative.
