Sustainable Alkylation of Nitriles with Alcohols by Manganese Catalysis

A general and chemoselective catalytic alkylation of nitriles using a homogeneous nonprecious manganese catalyst is presented. This alkylation reaction uses naturally abundant alcohols and readily available nitriles as coupling partners. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups and heterocyclic moieties, efficiently providing useful cyanoalkylated products with water as the only side product. Importantly, methanol can be used as a C1 source and the chemoselective C-methylation of nitriles is achieved. The mechanistic investigations support the multiple role of the metal-ligand manganese catalyst, the dehydrogenative activation of the alcohol, α-C-H activation of the nitrile, and hydrogenation of the in-situ-formed unsaturated intermediate.

Copper-Catalyzed Cyanation of N-Tosylhydrazones with Thiocyanate Salt as the "cN" Source

A novel protocol for the synthesis of α-aryl nitriles has been successfully achieved via a copper-catalyzed cyanation of N-tosylhydrazones employing thiocyanate as the source of cyanide. The features of this method include a convenient operation, readily available substrates, low-toxicity thiocyanate salts, and a broad substrate scope.

Cyanide-Free and Broadly Applicable Enantioselective Synthetic Platform for Chiral Nitriles through a Biocatalytic Approach

A cyanide-free platform technology for the synthesis of chiral nitriles by biocatalytic enantioselective dehydration of a wide range of aldoximes is reported. The nitriles were obtained with high enantiomeric excess of >90 % ee (and up to 99 % ee) in many cases, and a “privileged substrate structure” with respect to high enantioselectivity was identified. Furthermore, a surprising phenomenon was observed for the enantiospecificity that is usually not observed in enzyme catalysis. Depending on whether the E or Z isomer of the racemic aldoxime substrate was employed, one or the other enantiomer of the corresponding nitrile was formed preferentially with the same enzyme.
