The generation of tertiary, secondary, and primary alkyl radicals has been achieved by the direct visible-light excitation of a boracene-based alkylborate. This system is based on the photophys. properties of the organoboron mol. The protocol is applicable to decyanoalkylation, Giese addition, and nickel-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond formations such as alkyl-aryl cross-coupling or vicinal alkylarylation of alkenes, enabling the introduction of various C(sp3) fragments to organic mols. After reading the article, we found that the author used 4-Cyanopyridine(cas: 100-48-1Safety of 4-Cyanopyridine)
4-Cyanopyridine(cas: 100-48-1) belongs to pyridine. Pyridine’s structure is isoelectronic with that of benzene, but its properties are quite different. Pyridine is completely miscible with water, whereas benzene is only slightly soluble. Like all hydrocarbons, benzene is neutral (in the acid–base sense), but because of its nitrogen atom, pyridine is a weak base.Safety of 4-Cyanopyridine
