Direct C(sp3)-H Cyanation Enabled by a Highly Active Decatungstate Photocatalyst

A highly efficient, direct C(sp3)-H cyanation was developed under mild photocatalytic conditions. The method enabled the direct cyanation of various C(sp3)-H substrates with excellent functional group tolerance. Notably, complex natural products and bioactive compounds were efficiently cyanated.

Nickel-Catalyzed Cyanation of Unactivated Alkyl Sulfonates with Zn(CN)2

Cyanation of unactivated primary and secondary alkyl mesylates with Zn(CN)2 catalyzed by nickel has been developed. The reaction provides an efficient route for the synthesis of alkyl nitriles with wide substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and compatibility with heterocyclic compounds. Mechanistic studies indicate that alkyl iodide generated in situ serves as the reactive intermediate and the gradual release of alkyl iodide is crucial for the success of the reaction.

Preparation method of alkyl nitrile compound

The invention discloses a preparation method of an alkyl nitrile compound shown as formula I. The preparation method comprises the following step: in a solvent, in the presence of an additive and a catalyst, Zn (CN) 2 and an alkyl halide shown as formula II are subjected to a coupling reaction as shown in the specification to obtain the alkyl nitrile compound as shown in the formula I, wherein theadditive comprises an alkali, the catalyst comprises a nickel compound and a phosphine ligand; the nickel compound is one or more of zero-valent nickel, monovalent nickel salt and divalent nickel salt; when the nickel compound contains zero-valent nickel or divalent nickel salt, the catalyst further comprises a reducing agent. According to the preparation method disclosed by the invention, cyanation of an alkyl halide can be simply, conveniently and efficiently realized by using a cheap catalytic system, and the preparation method also has good functional group compatibility and substrate universality.

Nickel-Catalyzed Cyanation of Unactivated Alkyl Chlorides or Bromides with Zn(CN)2

A nickel-catalyzed cyanation of unactivated secondary alkyl chlorides or bromides using less toxic Zn(CN)2 as the cyanide source has been developed. The reaction features the use of air-stable and inexpensive NiCl2·6H2O or Ni(acac)2 as the precatalysts and offers an efficient synthesis of a broad range of alkyl nitriles. Cyanation of primary alkyl chlorides or bromides was also achieved by reaction with Zn(CN)2 in the presence of n-Bu4NCl without the need of nickel catalyst.

Deboronative cyanation of potassium alkyltrifluoroborates: Via photoredox catalysis

A photoredox catalytic method was developed for the direct cyanation of alkyltrifluoroborates. This reaction provides a new and useful transformation of the easily available alkyltrifluoroborates. The photocatalytic reaction can tolerate a variety of functional groups with mild reaction conditions. Mechanistic investigations are consistent with the present reaction following a radical pathway.

Palladium-Catalyzed α,β-Dehydrogenation of Esters and Nitriles

A highly practical and general palladium-catalyzed methodology for the α,β-dehydrogenation of esters and nitriles is reported. Generation of a zinc enolate or (cyanoalkyl)zinc species followed by the addition of an allyl oxidant and a palladium catalyst results in synthetically useful yields of α,β-unsaturated esters, lactones, and nitriles. Preliminary mechanistic investigations are consistent with reversible β-hydride elimination and turnover-limiting, propene-forming reductive elimination.

The Conversion of Aldehydes and Ketones via their 2,4,6-Tri-isopropylbenzenesulphonyl Hydrazones into Nitriles containing One Additional Carbon Atom

2,4,6-Tri-isopropylbenzenesulphonyl hydrazones of aliphatic and alicyclic aldehydes and ketones react readily with potassium cyanide in boiling methanol solution to give the corresponding nitriles (containing one more carbon atom than the original aldehyde or ketone) in satisfactory yield. Under the same conditions, benzaldehyde 2,4,6-tri-isopropylbenzenesulphonyl hydrazone gives phenylacetonitrile in very low yield.In some cases, the arenesulphonyl hydrazones may be generated in situ, in methanol solution, from the carbonyl compounds and 2,4,6-tri-isopropylbenzenesulphonohydrazide (11a), thereby constituting a one-pot preparation or the nitriles.
