Manganese Catalyzed α-Alkylation of Nitriles with Primary Alcohols

The manganese(I) complex bearing a bidentate hydrazone ligand efficiently catalyzes the α-alkylations of nitrile using primary alcohols as alkylating agents. α-Functionalized nitriles were selectively obtained in good to excellent yields. The reaction is environmentally benign, producing water as the sole byproduct. Both benzylic and aliphatic alcohols could be used and functional groups were tolerated.

α-Alkylation of Nitriles with Primary Alcohols by a Well-Defined Molecular Cobalt Catalyst

The α-alkylation of nitriles with primary alcohols to selectively synthesize nitriles by a well-defined molecular homogeneous cobalt catalyst is presented. Thirty-two examples with up to 95% yield are reported. Remarkably, this transformation is environmentally friendly and atom economical with water as the only byproduct.

1-phenyl-1-cyano-C5 -C7 alkanes, organoleptic uses thereof and process for preparing same

Described are 1-phenyl-1-cyano-C5 -C7 alkanes defined according to the structure: STR1 wherein R1 and R2 each represents hydrogen or methoxy with the proviso that when R1 is methoxy, R2 is hydrogen and when R2 is methoxy, R1 is hydrogen; and wherein X is C3 -C5 straight chain or branched chain alkylene and uses thereof in augmenting, enhancing or modifying perfume compositions, perfumed articles and colognes. Also described is a process for preparing such 1-phenyl-1-cyano-C5 -C7 alkanes by means of reacting benzyl cyanide with an aldehyde or ketone and then hydrogenating the resulting product using a supported palladium catalyst.
