An efficient and green protocol for the synthesis of αaminonitriles derivatives by one-pot reaction of different aldehydes with amines and trimethylsilyl cyanides has been developed using natural alumina, alumina sulfuric acid (ASA), nano-γ-alumina, nanoalumina sulfuric acid (nano-ASA) under microwave irradiation and solvent-free conditions. The advantages of methods are short reaction times, h...

Ethyl imidate hydrochlorides 1 were prepared by passing HCl gas through solutions of substituted benzyl cyanides and absolute ethanol. Ethoxycarbonylhydrazones 2 were synthesized from the reaction of compounds 1 with ethyl carbazate. Treatment of 2 with hydrazine hydrate leads to the formation of substituted 4-amino-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-ones 3. Isatin and 5-chloroisatin were added to...

Standard solutions (at 10(-5) M levels) of Cu(I)- and Fe(II)-cyanide complexes were stabilized for at least 5 h using 0.5 mM cyanide solution (around pH 9) as a medium. Complexes of Cu(I)- and Fe(III)-cyanide also could be stabilized without any dissociation by adding 1 mM cyanide to an acetonitrile-water (18:82, v/v) mobile phase (pH 7.0) containing 10 mM tetra-n-propylammonium salt (TPA). Und...

It is well known that the cyanides and the nitriles when given to mammals leave the body in part as sulfocyanides. This suggests that they combine with the labile sulfur group of the albumins of the cell, and it was this fact which led us to undertake a study of the spontaneous oxidation of cystein. It is not necessary to recapitulate the evidence that the cyanides act on cell-respiration, sinc...

Poly (vinylpyrrolidone)-grafted silica as an organic-inorganic hybrid material was used as an effective heterogeneous polymeric cosolvent catalyst in organic reactions. This modified silica catalyzed nucleophilic displacement of alkyl halides for easy preparation of alkyl thiocyanates, alkyl cyanides, alkyl azides and alkyl aryl ethers. Furthermore, the catalyst was applied for the conversion o...

Silver/manganese dioxide (Ag@MnO 2 ) nanorods are synthesized and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, powder diffraction, photoelectron spectroscopy. It was discovered that Ag@MnO can realize hydrogen-borrowing reactions in high yields also effective for the synthesis of tert-butyl esters from aryl cyanides hydroperoxide a short peri...
