A new and convenient synthesis of antazoline derivatives

Different N-benzyl anilines were N-alkylated with chloroacetonitrile to give the corresponding nitriles, which were subsequently condensed with ethylenediamine in the presence of thioacetamide to afford the corresponding title antazoline derivatives.

Iron-catalysed carbene-transfer reactions of diazo acetonitrile

A continuous-flow protocol for the synthesis of diazo acetonitrile was developed. It was further applied in iron-catalysed insertion reactions of diazo acetonitrile into N-H and S-H bonds to yield valuable α-substituted acetonitrile, including gram-scale synthesis.

Alpha-aminonitrile synthetic method

The invention discloses a one-pot alpha-aminonitrile synthetic method and belongs to the technical field of organic chemistry synthesis. Various benzene ring halogen substituted or nitrogen alkyl or aryl substituted secondary amine, fatty alcohol and aromatic alcohol are taken as raw materials, peroxide is taken as the oxidizing agent, trimethylsilyl cyanide is taken as the nucleophilic cyaniding reagent, various kinds of molysite are taken as the catalyst, and one-step oxidation-condensation-nucleophilic reaction, concentration and purification are conducted in a solvent at room temperature or under the heating condition to generate a finished product. The method has certain universality, reaction conditions are mild, requirements for production equipment are low, technology is simple, raw materials are easy to obtain, and popularization is easy. By the adoption of the method, high-yield and high-quality alpha-aminonitrile can be prepared. The method can be widely applied to industrial production of alpha-aminonitrile. The prepared alpha-aminonitrile can be widely applied to synthesis of bioactive compounds or functional materials including alpha-amino acid, 1,2-diamine, tetrahydroquinoline, alpha-amino-aldehyde, ketone or beta-amino alcohol and has broad market application prospects.
