A nickel-catalyzed cyanation of unactivated secondary alkyl chlorides or bromides using less toxic Zn(CN)2 as the cyanide source has been developed. The reaction features the use of air-stable and inexpensive NiCl2·6H2O or Ni(acac)2 as the precatalysts and offers an efficient synthesis of a broad range of alkyl nitriles. Cyanation of primary alkyl chlorides or bromides was also achieved by reaction with Zn(CN)2 in the presence of n-Bu4NCl without the need of nickel catalyst.

The invention discloses a preparation method of an alkyl nitrile compound shown as formula I. The preparation method comprises the following step: in a solvent, in the presence of an additive and a catalyst, Zn (CN) 2 and an alkyl halide shown as formula II are subjected to a coupling reaction as shown in the specification to obtain the alkyl nitrile compound as shown in the formula I, wherein theadditive comprises an alkali, the catalyst comprises a nickel compound and a phosphine ligand; the nickel compound is one or more of zero-valent nickel, monovalent nickel salt and divalent nickel salt; when the nickel compound contains zero-valent nickel or divalent nickel salt, the catalyst further comprises a reducing agent. According to the preparation method disclosed by the invention, cyanation of an alkyl halide can be simply, conveniently and efficiently realized by using a cheap catalytic system, and the preparation method also has good functional group compatibility and substrate universality.
