The photoinduced decarboxylation of carboxylate ions bearing electron-withdrawing groups using biphenyl and 1,4-dicyanonaphthalene leads to the efficient generation of carbanions under mild conditions. The efficiency of the carbanion generation is strongl

Magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles in deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been regard as excellent catalysts for highly efficient cyanosilylation of various aldehydes and epoxides using trimethylsilyl cyanide TMSCN in high yields with excellent selectivity. Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized and applied as a catalyst for the preparation of a wide variety of cyanohydrins (α-hydroxy nitriles and β-hydroxy nitriles) in readily available urea-choline chloride deep eutectic solvent DES as the most promising environmentally benign and cost-effective green solvent. Magnetic DES operates at very mild reaction conditions and can be easily recycled without significant loss of its catalytic activity.

Assessment of Rhodococcus erythropolis SET1, a novel nitrile hydrolysing bacterial isolate, has been undertaken with 34 nitriles, 33 chiral and 1 prochiral. These substrates consist primarily of β-hydroxy nitriles with varying alkyl and aryl groups at the β position and containing in several compounds different substituents α to the nitrile. In the case of β-hydroxy nitriles without substitution at the α position, acids were the major products obtained, along with recovered nitrile after biotransformation, as a result of suspected nitrilase activity of the isolate. Unexpectedly, amides were found to be the major hydrolysis product when the β-hydroxy nitriles possessed a vinyl group at this position. To probe this behaviour further, additional related substrates were evaluated containing electron-withdrawing groups at the α position, and amide was also observed upon biotransformation in the presence of SET1. Therefore this novel isolate has also demonstrated NHase activity with nitriles that appears to be substrate-dependent.

Cyclometalated iridium complexes are shown to be highly efficient and chemoselective catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of a wide range of carbonyl groups with formic acid in water. Examples include α-substituted ketones (α-ether, α-halo, α-hydroxy, α-amino, α-nitrile or α-ester), α-keto esters, β-keto esters and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. The reduction was carried out at substrate/catalyst ratios of up to 50000 at pH 4.5 and required no organic solvent. The protocol provides a practical, easy and efficient way for the synthesis of β-functionalised secondary alcohols, such as β-hydroxyethers, β-hydroxyamines and β-hydroxyhalo compounds, which are valuable intermediates in pharmaceutical, fine chemical, perfume and agrochemical synthesis. Water wonder: Iridicycle catalysts are versatile and allow the highly efficient and chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of a variety of carbonyl compounds, including problematic and challenging ones, with formate in neat water (see scheme).

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have been served as efficient catalysts for cyanomethylation of carbonyl compounds. In the presence of 5 mol % NHC, various aldehydes and 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone reacted with trimethylsilylacetonitrile (TMSAN) to give β-hydroxynitriles in moderate to high yields.

(Equation Presented) Proazaphosphatrane 1a was found to be an efficient catalyst for synthesis of β-hydroxynitriles via the reaction of trimethylsilylacetonitrile (TMSAN) with aldehydes under mild reaction conditions and typically low catalyst loading (ca. 2 mol %).
