Trichloroacetonitrile (7) reacts with molar amounts of alcoholates in alcohols to give mixtures of orthocarbonates 10 and trichloroacetimidates 9.The action of 7 on 3 moles of sodium ethoxide in heptane affords triethoxyacetonitrile 3b among other products, such as 9b, 10b and the imidate 12.The nitrile 3a can be obtained from 7 and sodium methoxide in ether in moderate yields. - The orthocarbonic acid derivatives 10b, 20a and 21a are transformed by acyl cyanides into the nitriles 3b, 4a, and 5a, respectively.N,N,N',N',N'',N''-hexamethylguanidinium cyanide (23a) is f ormed in the reaction of 22 with acetyl cyanide. - The salts 30a-32a react with alkali cyanides to form the nitriles 3b, 4a, and 5a, respectively.The nitrile 2a transfers cyanide ions to the carbenium ions 30a and 31a to yield the nitriles 3b and 4a, respectively.
