Abstract α-Amino nitrile compounds have a profound impact on bio-chemical sciences, as
they have been prepared from inexpensive starting materials and have become valuable …

This review is based on the analysis of recent developments on cyanation reactions for the
synthesis of nitriles (RCN) through transition metal mediated cyanation reaction as well as …

Oxidation at the sulfur of the safe-to-handle potassium thiocyanate releases cyanide units
that are trapped in the presence of co-oxidized tertiary amines to form α-amino nitriles …

A low-temperature and template-free synthesis method was developed to prepare MoS 2
nanotubes by sulfidation of bulk NiMo oxide. The ex-situ gas-phase low-pressure sulfidation …

The reaction of aromatic tertiary amines with potassium ferricyanide directly provides the
useful α‐amino nitriles. The inexpensive iron complex functions both as an oxidant and as a …

An environmentally benign and metal-free cyanation method of tertiary amines oxidated by
hypervalent iodine (III) intermediate generated in situ from PIFA (or DIB) and TMSCN has …

The isomerization of α-pinene oxide in the presence of Cs 2.5 H 0.5 PW 12 O 40 (CsPW)
heteropolysalt as solid acid catalyst is reported. The reactions were performed in various …

A highly efficient metal-free oxidative α-cyanation reaction of N-acyl/sulfonyl
tetrahydroisoquinolines under mild conditions was developed. The reaction uses 2, 2, 6, 6 …

Iron-catalysed sequential reaction towards α-aminonitriles from secondary amines, primary
alcohols and trimethylsilyl cyanide - Chemical Communications (RSC Publishing) DOI:10.1039/C5CC10346K …

An aerobic oxidative cyanation for the synthesis of α-aminonitriles was reported. The
formation of C (sp3)-CN bonds was achieved under a metal-free condition by utilizing azobis …
