The scope of the triphenylsilyl perrhennate (O3ReOSiPh3, 1) catalyzed 1,3-isomerization of allylicalcohols has been thoroughly explored. It was found to be effective for a wide variety of secondary and tertiary allylicalcohol substrates bearing aryl, alkyl, and cyano substituents. Two general reaction types were found which gave high levels of product selectivity: those driven by formation of an
Several naturallyoccurring cyanohydrins were tested for fumigation toxicity to two insect species, the house fly (Musca domestica L) and the lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica (F)). Synthetic analogues of these compounds were tested as well. Most of the cyanohydrins tested were more toxic as fumigants to M domestica and R dominica than chloropicrin; some compounds were nearly as toxic as dichlorvos

carbonyl compounds can be transformed to their corresponding cyanohydrins in a single step using a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)–water system in excellent yields (75–94%). The major advantages of this system are that the reaction conditions are mild and neutral; the reaction proceeds without catalyst and gives the corresponding cyanohydrins in short time (15–120 min). Graphical Abstract
The present invention relates to an improved method for preparing acrolein cyanohydrins from hydrocyanic acid and the corresponding acroleins. The method is characterized in that the acrolein cyanohydrins obtained have a very low hydrocyanic acid content or are free of hydrocyanic acid and are therefore particularly well suited as intermediates for the synthesis of glufosinates.
