anti-β-(N-arylamino)-α-hydroxynitriles from 3-aryloxirane-2-carbonitriles and anilines was developed under the catalysis of BF3·OEt2 in ethanol. In this method, BF3·OEt2 first reacts with ethanol to produce the true catalyst of super acid H[B(OEt)F3], followed by an acid-catalyzed regio- and diastereospecific ring opening of oxirane-2-carbonitriles with anilines, generating anti-β-(N-arylamino)-α-hydroxynitriles

A practical and efficient protocol for synthesis of >99% diastereopure Z- and E-alkenyl nitriles is developed, through tetramethylthiourea-mediated stereospecificdeoxygenation of respective cis- and trans-cyanoepoxides in ethanol. The desired products are obtained in excellent yields.

Biotransformations of five substituted cis- and trans-oxiranecarbonitriles with Mortierella isabellina DSM 1414, a microbial whole-cell catalyst producing epoxide hydrolases, were investigated. The reactions were stopped when the conversion of the substrates reached 50%. They yielded the appropriate optically active dihydroxycarbonitriles and oxiranecarbonitriles in low enantiomeric purity. Kinetic resolution of rac-syn-2,3-diliydroxy-3-arylpropanenitriles by lipase catalyzed acetylation yielded almost enantiomerically pure (-)-dihydroxynitriles and mixtures of regioisomers of monoacetylated diols. Another microorganism, Debaryomyces hansenii DSM 3428, was used as a source of nitrile hydratases in the kinetic resolution of oxiranecarbonitriles. Only two trans-configured compounds were transformed into the corresponding oxiranecarboxamides. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Tandem Meinwald rearrangement and nucleophilicsubstitution of oxiranenitriles was realized. Arylacetic acid derivatives were readily synthesized from 3-aryloxirane-2-carbonitriles with amines, alcohols, or water in the presence of boron trifluoride under microwave irradiation, and the designed synthetic strategy includes introducing a cyano leaving group into arylepoxides and capturing the in situ

arylhydrazine hydrochlorides and Fischer indolization. The organic base triethylamine plays a crucial role in the final elimination step in the Fischer indole synthesis, affording 3-arylindoles regiospecifically. The reaction features advantages of microwave acceleration, non-metal participation, short reaction time, organic acid-base co-catalysis, and broad substrate scope.
