A carbon dioxide-promoted three-component Strecker reaction

A three-component Strecker reaction of aldehydes, amines and KCN has been performed for the first time in supercritical carbon dioxide. In the proposed procedure, non-toxic and non-flammable carbon dioxide acts not only as an environmentally benign reaction medium but also as a reaction promoter via in situ formation of carbonic acid which provides a gradual release of the true cyanating agent (HCN) from available KCN. The reaction conditions (pressure, temperature, and concentrations of reagents) were optimized, and various aromatic and aliphatic amines and aldehydes were transformed into valuable α-amino nitriles including prospective pharmacological substances. The equimolar amount of used cyanogen reagent, carrying out the process in a sealed autoclave in a 'green' solvent medium under mild conditions (90 bar, 35 °C) along with the high yields of products and the scalability of the developed procedure make it suitable for sustainable industrial applications.

Catalytic Strecker reaction: g-C3N4-anchored sulfonic acid organocatalyst for the synthesis of α-aminonitriles

Abstract: Efficient organocatalyst for enantioselective Strecker reaction was synthesized using g-C3N4 sheets (CN). CN-anchored sulfonic acid (CN-Bu-SO3H) was found to be a highly efficient and recoverable organocatalyst f

KF/clinoptilolite nanoparticles as an efficient nanocatalyst for the Strecker synthesis of α-aminonitriles

Abstract: Potassium fluoride impregnated on clinoptilolite nanoparticles (KF/CP NPs) have been explored to serve as an effective and inexpensive heterogeneous catalyst for the one-pot three-component Strecker synthesis of a variety of α-aminonitriles at room temperature in ethanol as a green solvent. KF/CP NPs have been synthesized using simple impregnation techniques in aqueous media from readily available inexpensive starting materials and displayed its initial catalytic activity even after five runs. The easy preparation and separation of catalyst, simple procedure, mild reaction conditions, and excellent yields of products render this method as an attractive sustainable option.
