primary alcohols. Notably, using ethanol and methanol as alkylating reagents, challenging ethylation and methylation of arylmethyl nitriles were performed. Secondary alcohols do not undergo alkylation reactions. Thus, phenylacetonitrile was chemoselectively alkylated using primary alcohols in the presence of secondary alcohols. Diols provided a mixture of products. When deuterium-labeled alcohol was used
Herein, the synthesis of (Z)-α,β-unsaturated nitriles by a sequential hydroformylation/Knoevenagel reaction has been first developed. A variety of crude α-olefins from Fischer–Tropsch synthesis, internal and special olefins, as well as alkynes could be transformed into value-added alkenyl nitriles (39 examples) up to 90% yield. Remarkably, compared with commonly used tedious multistep reactions, the
在此,首次开发了通过顺序加氢甲酰化/Knoevenagel 反应合成 ( Z )-α,β-不饱和腈。来自费-托合成的各种粗α-烯烃、内烯烃和特殊烯烃以及炔烃可以转化为增值的烯基腈(39 个例子),产率高达 90%。值得注意的是,与常用的繁琐的多步反应相比,一锅法的特点是原料便宜且容易获得,具有优异的化学选择性、区域选择性和立体选择性,反应条件非常温和,易于放大生产。
