Treatment of O-tert-butyldimethylsilyloximes having olefin moieties in the molecules with BF3·OEt2 results in efficient generation of N-borano-nitrones, which undergo intra-molecular cycloaddition at room temperature to afford N-nons

Formyl cyanide has been generated by the retro-ene cleavage of cinnamyloxyacetonitrile using flash vacuum pyrolysis. Isolation of pure formyl cyanide in the gas phase has shown that the compound is much more stable than originally reported, with a measured half-life of 45.5 h under our experimental conditions. Formyl cyanide readily reacts with water to form hydrogen cyanide and formic acid. The observed vibrational frequencies are compared with the results of high-level ab initio calculations. Ab initio calculations are also reported for the transition state and the intrinsic reaction pathway of formyl cyanide into the products HCN and CO. The calculations are in agreement with the experimental observation that formyl cyanide does not undergo a unimolecular decomposition to HCN and CO as originally suggested.
