Copper-Catalyzed Cyanation of N-Tosylhydrazones with Thiocyanate Salt as the "cN" Source

A novel protocol for the synthesis of α-aryl nitriles has been successfully achieved via a copper-catalyzed cyanation of N-tosylhydrazones employing thiocyanate as the source of cyanide. The features of this method include a convenient operation, readily available substrates, low-toxicity thiocyanate salts, and a broad substrate scope.

SELECTIVE alpha -MONOALKYLATION OF PHENYLACETONITRILE USING ALKALI METAL HYDROXIDE IMPREGNATED ON ALUMINA.

In the alkylation of phenylacetonitrile with alkyl halides, alkali metal hydroxides impregnated on alumina act as efficient bases for selective alpha -monoalkylation in benzene. It is proposed that the reaction may take place exclusively in the pore. The selectivity for alpha -monoalkylation is explained in terms of steric hindrance.
