Reduction of acyl cyanides with zinc in acetic acid in the presence of excess acetic anhydride leads to N-acetyl-α-aminoketones in good yields.An efficient three-step synthesis of 5-aminolevulinic acid by this method is described.
Electrochemical Oxidation of Allenic Hydrocarbons in Acetonitrile

The anodic oxidation of a variety of alkyl-substituted allenes, terminal and internal ones, has been investigated in acetonitrile. All compounds studied were found to undergo 2e(-) oxidation followed by nucleophilic attack by acetonitrile and water molecules, to form products containing at least two of the following functional groups, C=C, NHCOCH3, C=O, and OH.The effect of various parameters (concentration, electrolyte, oxidation potential, temperature, and anode material) on the electro-oxidation of a model compound (nona-1,2-diene) has been studied and a general mechanistic scheme is presented and discussed.
