Interplay of Corrosion and Photocatalysis during Nonaqueous Benzylamine Oxidation on Cadmium Sulfide
Dimeglio, John L.,Bartlett, Bart M.
, p. 7579 - 7586 (2017)
The photo(electro)chemical properties of bulk, nanowire, and chemical bath deposits of cadmium sulfide (CdS) for benzylamine oxidation to N-benzylidenebenzylamine (N-BB) in acetonitrile have been evaluated as a model for the activity and stability of CdS toward selective organic oxidations. CdS photocatalysts selectively deliver N-BB at rates ranging from 5 to 26 mM h-1. Although CdS is a capable photocatalyst, SEM imaging and XPS analysis reveal significant morphological and compositional changes to the particles upon photolysis in benzylamine. These surface changes and surface sulfide oxidation are accompanied by Cd2+ leaching and hydrogen sulfide evolution, highlighting both redox and acid-base pathways of nonaqueous CdS corrosion. All facets of corrosion have been linked directly with amine reactivity, as the CdS particles are unaffected by substrate-free photolysis. A series of experiments using N,N-dimethylbenzylamine, 4-N,N-trimethylaniline, and ferrocene show that nonaqueous CdS corrosion is facilitated by acidic reaction intermediates opposed to photogenerated holes. Additionally, water and oxygen are essential components to corrosion, as photoelectrochemistry under dry/air-free conditions displays higher and stable photocurrent density as well as material stability. Finally, CdS nanowires display improved corrosion resistance, suggesting that control of particle morphology and/or electronic structure is essential for developing novel chalcogenide photocatalysts.

The electrochemical α-cyanation of tertiary and secondary amines has been developed by using a cheap cyanide reagent, azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN). The CN radical, generated throughn-Bu4NBr-meidated electrochemical oxidation, participates in a novel α-cyanation reaction under exogenous oxidant-free conditions.

In this work, we describe the one-pot synthesis of α-amino nitrile units by the concomitant addition of alkyl (or aryl) Grignard reagents and TMS cyanide through alkylative Strecker cyanation from readily available formamides. The reaction is broad in sco

Tertiary amines like PhCH2-NMe-CH2R (R = H, Me, CN) underwent RuO4-mediated oxidation by attack at all three N-α-positions. The various reaction products were classified in three groups, according to the functionalized sit

A novel and effective dual catalysis system, copper combined with pyridoxal phosphate, which is anchored in maghemite nanoparticles were designed and applied to synthesize α-aminonitriles from benzyl alcohols. This catalytic system has the potential ability to perform oxidation reactions and subsequently synthesize alpha-amino nitrile in a reaction environment. Thus, the purpose of this paper is introducing a heterogeneous, sustainable and recyclable catalytic system to perform reactions that require a transition metal catalyst and organocatalyst continuously to achieve a target molecule. The catalysis system is examined and investigated with seven useful analyses such as FT-IR, TGA, VSM, SEM, TEM, XRD, and ICP.

A new iridium-catalyzed reductive Strecker reaction for the direct and efficient formation of α-amino nitrile products from a broad range of (hetero)aromatic and aliphatic tertiary amides, and N-alkyl lactams is reported. The protocol exploits the mild and highly chemoselective reduction of the amide and lactam functionalities using IrCl(CO)[P(C6H5)3]2 (Vaska's complex) in the presence of tetramethyldisiloxane, as a reductant, to directly generate hemiaminal species able to undergo substitution by cyanide upon treatment with TMSCN (TMS=trimethylsilyl). The protocol is simple to perform, broad in scope, efficient (up to 99 % yield), and has been successfully applied to the late-stage functionalization of amide- and lactam-containing drugs, and naturally occurring alkaloids, as well as for the selective cyanation of the carbonyl carbon atom linked to the N atom of proline residues within di- and tripeptides.

α-Amino acids react with aldehydes in the presence of a cyanide source to form α-amino nitriles in what can be considered a decarboxylative variant of the classical Strecker reaction. This unprecedented transformation does not require the use of a metal catalyst and provides facile access to valuable α-amino nitriles that are inaccessible by traditional Strecker chemistry.
Tropylium ion mediated α-cyanation of amines
Allen, Julia M.,Lambert, Tristan H.
supporting information; experimental part, p. 1260 - 1262 (2011/04/15)
Tropylium ion mediated α-cyanation of amines is described. Even in the presence of KCN, tropylium ion is capable of oxidizing various amine substrates, and the resulting iminium ions undergo salt metathesis with cyanide ion to produce aminonitriles. The byproducts of this transformation are simply cycloheptatriene, a volatile hydrocarbon, and water-soluble potassium tetrafluoroborate. Thirteen total substrates are shown for the α-cyanation procedure, including a gram scale synthesis of 17β-cyanosparteine. In addition, a tropylium ion mediated oxidative aza-Cope rearrangement is demonstrated.
Superparamagnetic iron oxide as an efficient catalyst for the one-pot, solvent-free synthesis of α-aminonitriles
Mojtahedi, Mohammad M.,Saeed Abaee,Alishiri, Tooba
experimental part, p. 2322 - 2325 (2009/09/06)
Superparamagnetic Fe3O4 is shown to act as a very efficient catalyst for the one-pot, three-component synthesis of α-aminonitriles from aldehydes, amines, and TMSCN. The catalyst is easily recovered by the use of an external magnet and reused in several reactions without any noticeable loss of activity. The products are obtained rapidly at room temperature in good purity upon separation of the catalyst and evaporation of the volatiles of the reaction mixture.
