- Decarboxylative Cyanation of Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids via Visible-Light Flavin Photocatalysis
-
An operationally simple method is disclosed for the decarboxylative cyanation of aliphatic carboxylic acids at room temperature. Riboflavin tetraacetate, which is an inexpensive organic photocatalyst, promotes the oxidation of carboxylic acids upon visible-light activation. After decarboxylation, the generated radicals are trapped by TsCN, yielding the desired nitriles without any further additive, in a redox-neutral process. Importantly, this protocol can be adapted to flow conditions.

- "Nanorust"-catalyzed benign oxidation of amines for selective synthesis of nitriles
-
Organic nitriles constitute key precursors and central intermediates in organic synthesis. In addition, nitriles represent a versatile motif found in numerous medicinally and biologically important compounds. Generally, these nitriles are synthesized by traditional cyanation procedures using toxic cyanides. Herein, we report the selective and environmentally benign oxidative conversion of primary amines for the synthesis of structurally diverse aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic nitriles using a reusable "nanorust" (nanoscale Fe2O3)-based catalysts applying molecular oxygen.
