A new method for the preparation of cyclic nitriles by catalytic degradation. I was written by Houben, J.;Fischer, Walter. And the article was included in Berichte der Deutschen Chemischen Gesellschaft [Abteilung] B: Abhandlungen in 1930.Computed Properties of C11H11N This article mentions the following:

The trichloromethyl ketimides of the type described in the preceding abstract are smoothly converted not only by alc. and aqueous alkali but also catalytically in Et₂O by small amounts of powd. KOH into cyclic nitriles and CHCl₃ without the alkali being in any way attacked. With the ketimides of the free phenols, where the HO group must be saturated with alkali before cleavage can take place, it is difficult to determine the amount of alkali required for the cleavage, but it is believed that here, too, the process is catalytic. A procedure has been developed which permits of converting the ketimide directly, without purification, into the nitrile and also of separating the ketimide from the accompanying ketone. The method almost always gives good yields and has thus far failed in no case. Thus, from p-MeC₆H₄C(:NH)CCl₃ (85% pure), allowed to stand 2-4 hrs. under petroleum ether with powd. CaO and KOH (powd. under petroleum ether and dried over P₂O₅ at 100鎺?, was obtained 75% p-MeC₆H₄CN which, while it did not solidify until cooled to 0鎺? yielded only p-MeC₆H₄CO₂H with acids and then alkali, and p-MeC₆H₄CONH₂ with MeOH-HCl. It is not clear what caused the depression of the m. p. of the MeC₆H₄CN. The crude mixture of 2,4-Me₂C₆H₃C(:NH)CCl₃ (91%) and ketone obtained from m-xylene and CCl₃CN gives with powd. KOH-CaO 82% 2,4-Me₂C₆H₃CN, m. 24-5鎺? From 2,5-Me₂C₆H₃C(:NH) CCl₃ (85%) was obtained 98% 2,5-Me₂C₆H₃CN, begins to m. -3鎺? m. completely 6鎺? 2,4,6-Me₃C₆H₂CN, b. 225-30鎺? was obtained in 62% yield, based on the C₆H₃Me₃ used, without isolating the ketimide. The mixture of little 浼? with much 灏? tetralyl CCl₃ ketimide HCl salts (see preceding abstract) yields 14% 浼?cyanotetralin, m. 48-50鎺?the H₂O set free from the salts by the KOH converting the 灏?ketimide almost completely into the ketone and NH₈, which is recovered in about 68% yield as C₁₀H₁₁CO₂K. p-HOC₆H₄C(:NH.HCl)Me, allowed to stand 2 min. in 10% NaOH at 50鎺? gave p-HOC₆H₄CO₂H and 25% p-HOC₆H₄CN. 2,5,4-Me₂(HO)C₆H₂C(:NH)CCl₃ was quant. converted in the same way into Me₂(HO)C₆H₂CN, m. 163-5鎺? 2,6,Dimethyl-4-methoxy- benzonitrile, m. 85-7鎺? was obtained in 52% yield, together with a substance, m. 49-55鎺? of the same N content, directly from 3,5-Me₂C₆H₃OMe without isolating the ketimide. p-Thymotinic nitrile, m. 115-6鎺? was obtained in 81% yield from the ketimide-HCl, and in 61% yield directly from thymol. p-Carvacrotinic nitrile, m. 75-7鎺? was likewise obtained in 62% yield from the ketimide-HCl. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 5,6,7,8-Tetrahydronaphthalene-1-carbonitrile (cas: 29809-13-0Computed Properties of C11H11N).

5,6,7,8-Tetrahydronaphthalene-1-carbonitrile (cas: 29809-13-0) belongs to nitriles. Nitrile compounds can be prepared by the incorporation of a cyanide source through C閳ユ弲 bond formation or by dehydration of primary carboxamides. Nitriles are susceptible to hydrogenation over diverse metal catalysts.

Cyanation of Aryl Bromides with K₄[Fe(CN)₆] Catalyzed by Dichloro[bis{1-(dicyclohexylphosphanyl)piperidine}]palladium, a Molecular Source of Nanoparticles, and the Reactions Involved in the Catalyst-Deactivation Processes was written by Gerber, Roman;Oberholzer, Miriam;Frech, Christian M.. And the article was included in Chemistry – A European Journal in 2012.Synthetic Route of C6H5NS This article mentions the following:

Dichloro[bis{1-(dicyclohexylphosphanyl)piperidine}]palladium [(P{(NC₅H₁₀)(C₆H₁₁)₂})₂PdCl₂] (1) is a highly active and generally applicable C-C cross-coupling catalyst. Apart from its high catalytic activity in Suzuki, Heck, and Negishi reactions, compound 1 also efficiently converted various electronically activated, nonactivated, and deactivated aryl bromides, which may contain fluoride atoms, trifluoromethane groups, nitriles, acetals, ketones, aldehydes, ethers, esters, amides, as well as heterocyclic aryl bromides, such as pyridines and their derivatives, or thiophenes into their resp. aromatic nitriles with K₄[Fe(CN)₆] as a cyanating agent within 24 h in NMP at 140 鎺矯 in the presence of only 0.05 mol % catalyst. Catalyst deactivation processes showed that excess cyanide efficiently affected the mol. mechanisms as well as inhibited the catalysis when nanoparticles were involved, owing to the formation of inactive cyanide complexes, such as [Pd(CN)₄]^2-, [(CN)₃Pd(H)]^2-, and [(CN)₃Pd(Ar)]^2-. Thus, the choice of cyanating agent is crucial for the success of the reaction because there is a sharp balance between the rate of cyanide production, efficient product formation, and catalyst poisoning. For example, whereas no product formation was obtained when cyanation reactions were examined with Zn(CN)₂ as the cyanating agent, aromatic nitriles were smoothly formed when hexacyanoferrate(II) was used instead. The reason for this striking difference in reactivity was due to the higher stability of hexacyanoferrate(II), which led to a lower rate of cyanide production, and hence, prevented catalyst deactivation processes. This pathway was confirmed by the colorimetric detection of cyanides: whereas the conversion of 灏?solvato-浼?cyanocobyrinic acid heptamethyl ester into dicyanocobyrinic acid heptamethyl ester indicated that the cyanide production of Zn(CN)₂ proceeded at 25 鎺矯 in NMP, reaction temperatures of >100 鎺矯 were required for cyanide production with K₄[Fe(CN)₆]. Mechanistic investigations demonstrate that palladium nanoparticles were the catalytically active form of compound 1. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 3-Methylthiophene-2-carbonitrile (cas: 55406-13-8Synthetic Route of C6H5NS).

3-Methylthiophene-2-carbonitrile (cas: 55406-13-8) belongs to nitriles. Nitriles are polar, as indicated by high dipole moments. As liquids, they have high relative permittivities, often in the 30s. Nitrile groups in organic compounds can undergo a variety of reactions depending on the reactants or conditions. A nitrile group can be hydrolyzed, reduced, or ejected from a molecule as a cyanide ion.Synthetic Route of C6H5NS

Direct cyanomethylation of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons with acetonitrile over a metal loaded titanium oxide photocatalyst was written by Wada, Emiko;Takeuchi, Tomoaki;Fujimura, Yuki;Tyagi, Akanksha;Kato, Tatsuhisa;Yoshida, Hisao. And the article was included in Catalysis Science & Technology in 2017.Recommanded Product: 4435-14-7 This article mentions the following:

A platinum-loaded TiO₂ (Pt/TiO₂) photocatalyst promoted cyanomethylation of aliphatic hydrocarbons, namely cyclohexane and cyclohexene, with acetonitrile, where the photogenerated hole oxidatively dissociates the C-H bond of both the acetonitrile and the aliphatic hydrocarbons to form each corresponding radical species before their radical cross-coupling. The Pt/TiO₂ photocatalyst was more active than the Pd/TiO₂ photocatalyst in these reactions. In contrast, the cyanomethylation of benzene was promoted by the Pd/TiO₂ photocatalyst or a phys. mixture of the Pt/TiO₂ photocatalyst and a Pd catalyst supported by Al₂O₃, while it was hardly promoted by the Pt/TiO₂ photocatalyst alone. The temperature dependence of the reaction rate proved that the Pd nanoparticles on the TiO₂ thermally function as a metal catalyst. However, in the cyanomethylation of aliphatic hydrocarbons, the catalytic effect of the metal particles was not observed, meaning that the radical coupling takes place without the metal catalysis. Thus, it is concluded that in the case of the benzene cyanomethylation the Pd nanoparticles play dual roles, as a catalyst to catalyze the substitution reaction of benzene with the cyanomethyl radical, and as an electron receiver to reduce the recombination of the photoexcited electrons and holes in the TiO₂ photocatalyst, although they could not contribute as a catalyst to the cyanomethylation of aliphatic hydrocarbons. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2-Cyclohexylacetonitrile (cas: 4435-14-7Recommanded Product: 4435-14-7).

2-Cyclohexylacetonitrile (cas: 4435-14-7) belongs to nitriles. The R-C-N bond angle in and nitrile is 180鎺?which give a nitrile functional group a linear shape. Both the carbon and the nitrogen are sp hydridized which leaves them both with two p orbitals which overlap to form the two 锜? bond in the triple bond. Alkyl nitriles are sufficiently acidic to undergo deprotonation of the C-H bond adjacent to the CN group.Strong bases are required, such as lithium diisopropylamide and butyl lithium. The product is referred to as a nitrile anion. Recommanded Product: 4435-14-7

Development and characterization of 3-(arylsulfamoyl)benzamides as potent and selective SIRT2 inhibitors was written by Khanfar, Mohammad A.;Quinti, Luisa;Wang, Hua;Choi, Soo Hyuk;Kazantsev, Aleksey G.;Silverman, Richard B.. And the article was included in European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry in 2014.HPLC of Formula: 1753-48-6 This article mentions the following:

Inhibitors of sirtuin-2 deacetylase (SIRT2) have been shown to be protective in various models of Huntington’s disease (HD) by decreasing polyglutamine aggregation, a hallmark of HD pathol. The present study was directed at optimizing the potency of SIRT2 inhibitors containing the neuroprotective sulfobenzoic acid scaffold and improving their pharmacol. To achieve that goal, 176 analogs were designed, synthesized, and tested in deacetylation assays against the activities of major human sirtuins SIRT1-3. This screen yielded 15 compounds with enhanced potency for SIRT2 inhibition and 11 compounds having SIRT2 inhibition equal to reference compound AK-1. The newly synthesized compounds also demonstrated higher SIRT2 selectivity over SIRT1 and SIRT3. These candidates were subjected to a dose-response bioactivity assay, measuring an increase in 浼?tubulin K40 acetylation in two neuronal cell lines, which yielded five compounds bioactive in both cell lines and eight compounds bioactive in at least one of the cell lines tested. These bioactive compounds were subsequently tested in a tertiary polyglutamine aggregation assay, which identified five inhibitors. ADME properties of the bioactive SIRT2 inhibitors (e.g., I) were assessed, which revealed a significant improvement of the pharmacol. properties of the new entities, reaching closer to the goal of a clin.-viable candidate. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2-Aminopyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (cas: 1753-48-6HPLC of Formula: 1753-48-6).

2-Aminopyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (cas: 1753-48-6) belongs to nitriles. Nitrile carbon shifts are in the range of 115閳?25 ppm whereas in isonitriles the shifts are around 155閳?65 ppm. In addition, Nitriles can react with alkynes, which leads to an increase in carbon chain length (carbocyanation).HPLC of Formula: 1753-48-6

The direct C-H amination of arenes is an important strategy to streamline the discovery and preparation of functional mols. Herein, we report an operationally simple arene C-H amination reaction that, in contrast to most literature precedence, affords directly the synthetically versatile primary aniline products without relying on protecting group manipulations. Inexpensive Fe(II) sulfate serves as a convenient catalyst for the transformation. The reaction tolerates a wide scope of arenes, including structurally complex drugs. Importantly, the arene substrates are used as limiting reagents in the transformation. This operationally simple transformation should considerably accelerate the discovery of medicines and functional mols.

An efficient route to 2-perfluoroalkylated quinoline derivatives through the copper(I)-mediated coupling-cyclization of 2-aminobenzonitriles with Me perfluoroalk-2-ynoates is described. Moderate to excellent yields have been achieved under mild conditions. E.g., in presence of CuBr and piperidine in DMSO, coupling-cyclization of 2-H₂NC₆H₄CN and CF₃C椤氬挵CO₂Me gave 94% 2-perfluoroalkylated quinoline derivative (I).

Programing a cyanide-free transformation of aldehydes to nitriles and one-pot synthesis of amides through tandem chemo-enzymatic cascades was written by Zheng, Haoteng;Xiao, Qinjie;Mao, Feiying;Wang, Anming;Li, Mu;Wang, Qiuyan;Zhang, Pengfei;Pei, Xiaolin. And the article was included in RSC Advances in 2022.Synthetic Route of C6H5NS This article mentions the following:

In this work, a greener chemo-enzymic cascade to synthesize alky and aryl nitriles RCN (R = Ph, Bn, pentyl, furan-2-yl, etc.) from readily accessible aldehydes RCHO, that were further transformed into corresponding amides RC(O)NH₂ via an artificial enzyme cascade was reported. A biphasic reaction system was designed to bridge chem. synthesis and enzymic catalysis through simple phase separation The biphasic system mainly perfectly avoided the inactivation of hydroxylamine on aldoxime dehydratase from Pseudomonas putida (OxdF1) and nitrile hydratase from Aurantimonas manganoxydans ATCC BAA-1229 (NHase1229). For the synthesis of various nitriles, moderate isolation yields of approx. 60% were obtained by the chemo-enzymic cascade. Interestingly, two seemingly conflicting reactions of dehydration and hydration were sequentially proceeded to synthesize amides by the synergistic catalysis of OxdF1 and NHase1229 in E. coli cells. An isolation yield of approx. 62% was achieved for benzamide at the one-liter scale. In addition, the shuttle transport of substrates and products between two phases is convenient for the product separation and n-hexane recycling. Thus, the chemo-enzymic cascade shows a potential application in the cyanide-free and large-scale synthesis of nitriles and amides. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 3-Methylthiophene-2-carbonitrile (cas: 55406-13-8Synthetic Route of C6H5NS).

PI3K鏈?is a lipid kinase that is believed to be important in the migration and activation of cells of the immune system. Inhibition is hypothesized to provide a powerful yet selective immunomodulatory effect that may be beneficial for the treatment of conditions such as asthma or rheumatoid arthritis. In this work, identification of inhibitors based on a thiazolopyridone core structure and their subsequent optimization for inhalation is described. The initially identified compound I had good potency and isoform selectivity but was not suitable for inhalation. Addition of basic substituents to a region of the mol. pointing to solvent was tolerated (enzyme inhibition pIC₅₀ > 9), and by careful manipulation of the pK_a and lipophilicity, the authors were able to discover compounds II (R = Me or i-Bu) with good lung retention and cell potency that could be taken forward to in vivo studies where significant target engagement could be demonstrated. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 4-Amino-6-chloropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (cas: 60025-09-4Electric Literature of C5H3ClN4).

4-Amino-6-chloropyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (cas: 60025-09-4) belongs to nitriles. Nitrile carbon shifts are in the range of 115閳?25 ppm whereas in isonitriles the shifts are around 155閳?65 ppm. In conventional organic reductions, nitrile is reduced by treatment with lithium aluminium hydride to the amine. Reduction to the imine followed by hydrolysis to the aldehyde takes place in the Stephen aldehyde synthesis, which uses stannous chloride in acid.Electric Literature of C5H3ClN4
