Electroreduction of nitriles gave the corresponding decyanated products when Zn was used as the material of cathode in aprotic solvent (DMF or MeCN) containing Et4NOTs as a supporting electrolyte. Alkylation of amines at the α-position was effectively achieved by cyanation of amines at the α-position, and α-alkylation of the resultant α-amino nitriles followed by the electroreductive decyanation.
