pyridinium salts has been developed. When it is coupled with formation of the pyridinium salt from primary amines, this method enables alkyl amines to be converted to alkyl nitriles. A less toxic cyanide reagent, Zn(CN)2, is utilized, and diverse functional groups and heterocycles are tolerated. The method also enables a one-carbon homologation of alkyl amines via reduction of the nitrile products,
