This paper describes the development and mechanistic studies of a general, high-yielding amine Cα-H cyanation protocol via photoredox catalysis. Inexpensive NaCN is employed as the cyanide source and air is the external oxidant, resulting in mild and highly functional group tolerant conditions. Notably, efficient Cα-H cyanations of secondary and tertiary aliphatic amines and of complex, biologically active compounds (drugs) can be performed using the established methodology. Mechanistic studies suggest that the carboxylic acid additive has three effects: formation of a stabilizing hemiaminal intermediate, prevention of catalyst decomposition by protonating the substrate, and modulation of fluorescence quenching of the photoexcited catalyst species.

A wide variety of carbonyl compounds can be transformed to their corresponding cyanohydrins in a single step using a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-water system in excellent yields (75-94%). The major advantages of this system are that the reaction conditions are mild and neutral; the reaction proceeds without catalyst and gives the corresponding cyanohydrins in short time (15-120 min).
