Nickel-catalyzed decyanation of inert carbon-cyano bonds was written by Patra, Tuhin;Agasti, Soumitra;Akanksha;Maiti, Debabrata. And the article was included in Chemical Communications (Cambridge, United Kingdom) in 2013.Category: pyridine-derivatives This article mentions the following:
A nickel catalyzed decyanation of aryl cyanides and aliphatic cyanides with hydrosilane as a hydride source [i.e., 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane] has been developed. This method is easy to handle, scalable and can be carried out without a glove box. The method was applied in a cyanide directed functionalization reaction and α-substitution of benzyl cyanide. The synthesis of the target compounds was achieved using as starting materials 1,4-dibutoxy-2,3-naphthalenedicarbonitrile, 6-methoxy-2-naphthalenecarbonitrile, 2-cyanobenzoic acid Et ester, [1,1′-biphenyl]-4-carbonitrile, 4-benzoylbenzonitrile, 6-phenoxy-2-pyridinecarbonitrile, 2-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)benzonitrile, 2-(1H-indol-1-yl)benzonitrile, 1-(phenylmethyl)-1H-indole-3-carbonitrile, 4-hydroxybenzeneacetonitrile, α-octylbenzeneacetonitrile, dodecanenitrile, benzenepropanenitrile, etc. The decyanation of 1,4-dibutoxy-2,3-naphthalenedicarbonitrile (I) gave 1,4-dibutoxy-2-naphthalenecarbonitrile (II). In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2-Phenoxypyridine (cas: 4783-68-0Category: pyridine-derivatives).
2-Phenoxypyridine (cas: 4783-68-0) belongs to pyridine derivatives. Pyridines are an important class of heterocycles and occur in polysubstituted forms in many naturally occurring biologically active compounds, drug molecules and chiral ligands. Several pyridine derivatives play important roles in biological systems. While its biosynthesis is not fully understood, nicotinic acid (vitamin B3) occurs in some bacteria, fungi, and mammals.Category: pyridine-derivatives
