Practical Synthesis of (Z)-α,β-Unsaturated Nitriles via a One-Pot Sequential Hydroformylation/Knoevenagel Reaction

Herein, the synthesis of (Z)-α,β-unsaturated nitriles by a sequential hydroformylation/Knoevenagel reaction has been first developed. A variety of crude α-olefins from Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, internal and special olefins, as well as alkynes could be transformed into value-added alkenyl nitriles (39 examples) up to 90% yield. Remarkably, compared with commonly used tedious multistep reactions, the one-pot protocol features cheap and easily available raw materials, excellent chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity, very mild reaction conditions, and easy scale-up production.

Switchable Cobalt-Catalyzed α-Olefination and α-Alkylation of Nitriles with Primary Alcohols

The first switchable α-olefination and α-alkylation of nitriles with primary alcohols catalyzed by a well-defined base transition-metal Co complex was presented. A broad variety of nitriles and primary alcohols are selectively and efficiently converted to the corresponding products by this method. It is noteworthy that the transformation is environmentally benign and atom efficient with H2and H2O being the sole byproducts.

A Catalytic Peterson-like Synthesis of Alkenyl Nitriles

A heterogeneous fluoride catalyst was found to enable the straightforward formation of alkenyl nitriles from the reaction of aldehydes and simple or substituted acetonitriles, in the presence of commercially available silazanes and in solvent-free conditions. The protocol afforded the products in good to excellent yields with selectivity values dependent on the nature of the substrates. It represents an alternative to classic approaches using stoichiometric strong bases, and the catalyst can be easily recovered and reused for consecutive cycles.
