Various α-aryl nitriles have been prepared in excellent yield from the corresponding α-aryl alcohols employing 3 mol % of B(C6F5)3 (1) as Lewis acid catalyst and (CH3)3SiCN (TMSCN) as cyanide source. Cyano transfer from TMSCN to alcohol proceeds within short reaction time at rt. α-Aryl thiols also produce corresponding nitriles in good to excellent yield at reflux condition.
使用3 mol%的B(C 6 F 5)3(1)作为路易斯酸催化剂和(CH 3)3 SiCN(TMSCN)作为氰化物,由相应的α-芳基醇以优异的产率制备了各种α-芳基腈。来源。在室温下,在短的反应时间内,从TMSCN转移到乙醇的氰基转移。在回流条件下,α-芳基硫醇还可以产生相应的腈,收率好至极好。
