Al-MCM-41 catalyzed three-component Strecker-type synthesis of α-aminonitriles
摘要:
Mesoporous aluminosilicate (Al-MCM-41) efficiently catalyzed the three-component Strecker-type reaction of benzylacetone and aniline with trimethylsilyl cyanide in CH2Cl2 at room temperature to afford the corresponding alpha-aminonitrile in excellent yields (up to 97%). Mesoporous silica (MCM-41), amorphous SiO2-Al2O3, and H-Y and H-ZSM-5 zeolites also catalyzed this reaction, but gave the desired product in lower yields. The Al-MCM-41 catalyzed three-component Strecker-type reaction was applicable to a wide range of ketones, aldehydes, and amines. Furthermore, the Al-MCM-41 catalyst could be applied to a fixed-bed flow reactor: The desired alpha-aminonitrile derivative was constantly produced in nearly 80% yields for 48 h.

Aryl imines formed from aldehydes and amines undergo smoothly in situ nucleophilic addition with trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) in the presence of catalytic amount of hydrated rhodium(III) iodide to afford the corresponding α-aminonitriles in excellent yield. The low catalytic loading (2 mol %), mild experimental conditions, and short reaction time (mostly within 13 min) represent the key features
