Herein, we report a combination of pyrenedione (PD) and KOtBu to achieve facile alcohol dehydrogenation under visible-light excitation, where aerobic oxygen is utilized as the terminal oxidant. The resulting carbonyl compound can be easily converted to vinyl nitriles in a single-pot reaction, at 60 °C in 6-8 h. This environmentally benign, organocatalytic approach has distinct advantages over transition-metal-catalyzed α-olefination of nitriles, which often operate at a significantly higher temperature for an extended reaction time.

A ruthenium-grafted hydrotalcite (Ru/HT) and hydrotalcite-supported palladium nanoparticles (Pdnano/ HT) are easily prepared by treating basic layered double hydroxide, hydrotalcite (HT, Mg6Al 2(OH)16CO3) with aqueous RuCl 3·n H2O and K2[PdCl4] solutions, respectively, using surface impregnation methods. Analysis by means of X-ray diffraction, and energydispersive X-ray, electron paramagnetic resonance, and X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopies proves that a monomeric RuIV species is grafted onto the surface of the HT. Meanwhile, after reduction of a surface-isolated PdII species, highly dispersed Pd nanoclusters with a mean diameter of about 70 A is observed on the Pdnano/HT surface by transmission electron microscopy analysis. These hydrotalcite-supported metal catalysts can effectively promote α-alkylation reactions of various nitriles with primary alcohols or carbonyl compounds through tandem reactions consisting of metal-catalyzed oxidation and reduction, and an aldol reaction promoted by the base sites of the HT. In these catalytic α-alkylations, homogeneous bases are unnecessary and the only by-product is water. Additionally, these catalyst systems are applicable to one-pot syntheses of glutaronitrile derivatives.

The titanium derivatives of benzyl cyanide, isopropyl phenylacetate, and phenyl benzyl and ethyl benzyl ketones, unlike the corresponding alkali-metal salts, react with aldehydes and ketones in THF at -78 to 20 deg C to form high yields of the products fr
