Nitroxide Chemistry. Part 15. Reactions between Bistrifluoromethyl Nitroxide and Benzyl Alcohol, Azide, Chloride, and Cyanide

Bistrifluoromethyl nitroxide readily attacks benzyl cyanide and benzyl chloride at room temperature to give the α-bistrifluoromethylamino-oxy-derivatives PhCHRCN and PhCHRCl respectively; treatment of the former product with the nitroxide yields benzoyl cyanide and the di-substituted derivative PhCR2CN.Abstraction of a benzylic hydrogen atom by the nitroxide from benzyl alcohol and benzyl azide leads, respectively, to the formation of benzaldehyde (and hence PhCOR) and benzonitrile.
