Cyanomethylation versus Reductive Saturation and Hydrodimerisation during the Electroreduction αβ-Unsaturated Nitriles in Acetonitriles

Results for the electroreduction of cinnamonitrile, 3-methylcinnamonitrile, and acrylonitrile in acetonitrile under a variety of conditions are reported in detail, and the factors which favour the formation of glutaronitrile derivatives (cyanomethylation) versus reductive saturation and hydrodimerization have been identified.Cyanomethylation of acrylonitrile has also been studied using (i) azobenzene-acetonitrile, and (ii) phenylsulphonylacetonitrile-dimethylformamide, as the source of electrogenerated -CH2CN.
