The detailed structure of active sites plays an important role for the determination of catalytic performance. Herein, catalytic active sites of M/TiO2 for photocatalytic cyanation of olefins are tuned by delicate manipulation of the metal kinds, metal loading amount and pretreatment processes. It was found that the 0.1% Pt/P25 catalyst reduced at 300 °C possessed high metal dispersion and suitable oxygen defects on TiO2, and thus exhibited the best catalytic performance with high specific speed of time yield and high selectivity. A wide scope of olefin substrates could be converted to the corresponding nitriles with high atom efficiency and anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity under mild conditions for the optimized Pt/P25 catalyst. The reaction mechanism based on radical coupling of acetonitrile and olefins was also discussed. This approach offers an environmental-friendly platform for the selective activation of C-H bonds of acetonitrile and will bring potential applications for hydrofunctionalization of olefins.

The performances of heterogeneous catalysts can be effectively tuned by changing the catalyst structures. Here we report a controllable nitrile synthesis from alcohol ammoxidation, where the nitrile hydration side reaction could be efficiently prevented by changing the manganese oxide catalysts. α-Mn2O3 based catalysts are highly selective for nitrile synthesis, but MnO2-based catalysts including α, β, γ, and δ phases favour the amide production from tandem ammoxidation and hydration steps. Multiple structural, kinetic, and spectroscopic investigations reveal that water decomposition is hindered on α-Mn2O3, thus to switch off the nitrile hydration. In addition, the selectivity-control feature of manganese oxide catalysts is mainly related to their crystalline nature rather than oxide morphology, although the morphological issue is usually regarded as a crucial factor in many reactions.

Paragraph 0120-0122, (2021/06/21)
The invention provides a method for dehydrating primary amide into nitrile. The method comprises the following steps: mixing primary amide (II), silane, sodium triethylborohydride, aminopyridine imine tridentate nitrogen ligand cobalt complex (I) and a reaction solvent under the protection of inert gas, carrying out reacting at 60-100 DEG C for 6-24 hours, and post-treating reaction liquid to obtain a nitrile compound (III). According to the invention, an effective method for preparing nitrile compounds by cobalt-catalyzed primary amide dehydration reaction by using the novel aminopyridine imine tridentate nitrogen ligand cobalt complex catalyst is provided; and compared with existing methods, the method has the advantages of simple operation, mild reaction conditions, wide application range of reaction substrates, high selectivity, stable catalyst, high efficiency, and relatively high practical application value in synthesis.

The Schmidt reaction has been an efficient and widely used synthetic approach to amides and nitriles since its discovery in 1923. However, its application often entails the use of volatile, potentially explosive, and highly toxic azide reagents. Here, we report a sequence whereby triflic anhydride and formic and acetic acids activate the bulk chemical nitromethane to serve as a nitrogen donor in place of azides in Schmidt-like reactions. This protocol further expands the substrate scope to alkynes and simple alkyl benzenes for the preparation of amides and nitriles.
