Solvent-free condensation of arylacetonitrile with aldehydes
摘要:
The condensation of a series of arylacetonitriles with aldehydes can be carried out by mixing equivalent amounts of reagents with neat powdered KOH at room temperature for 3-60 min depending on the aldehyde steric hindrance. At higher temperature (110 degrees C), yields were generally higher and purity increased within very short reaction times (1-5 min). With pentamethylphenylacetonitrile, a phase transfer agent was necessary to give a satisfactory yield. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

We report herein the use of 3-30 mol % of a new class of tricyclic strong nonionic Lewis bases P(MeNCH2CH2)(3)N and P(HNCH2CH2)(i-PrNCH2CH2)(2)N for the direct catalytic synthesis of a variety of functionalized alpha,beta-unsaturated nitriles in high yields from aldehydes and acetonitrile or benzyl cyanide at 40-50 degrees C. Evidence for a novel mechanistic pathway proposed for this reaction in a polar protic solvent such as methanol, and a nonpolar aprotic solvent such as benzene is also presented. Under these conditions, primary and secondary aliphatic aldehydes do not condense satisfactorily with acetonitrile to give the alpha,beta-unsaturated nitrile, and ketones do not condense with either benzyl cyanide or acetonitrile.
