Abstract
Cyanation has attracted considerable attention in organic synthesis because nitriles are key structural motifs in numerous important dyes, agrochemicals, natural products and drug molecules. As the fourth generation of cyanating reagents, isocyanides occupy a prominent place in the synthesis of nitriles due to their favorable stability, easy operability and high reactivity. In recent years, three types of cyanation with isocyanides have been established: the cleavage of the C-NC bond of tertiary alkyl isocyanides (Type I), the rearrangement of aryl isocyanides with azides (Type II), and the reductive cyanation of ketones with α-acidic isocyanides (Type III). This review focuses on advances in cyanation with isocyanides with an emphasis on reaction scope, limitations and mechanisms, which could reveal their remarkable value and superiority for accessing various nitriles. In addition, the future development prospects of this specific field are also introduced. We believe that this feature article will serve as a comprehensive tool to navigate cyanation with isocyanides across the vast area of synthetic chemistry.

Electric Field Enhanced Ammoxidation of Aldehydes Using Supported Fe Clusters Under Ambient Oxygen Pressure. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023:e202313313. [PMID: 37930876 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202313313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/08/2023]
Abstract
Heterogeneous catalytic ammoxidation provides an eco-friendly route for the cyanide-free synthesis of nitrile compounds, which are important precursors for synthetic chemistry and pharmaceutical applications. However, in general such a process requires high pressures of molecular oxygen at elevated temperatures to accelerate the oxygen reduction and imine dehydrogenation steps, which is highly risky in practical applications. Here, we report an electric field enhanced ammoxidation system using a supported Fe clusters catalyst (Fe/NC), which enables efficient synthesis of nitriles from the corresponding aldehydes under ambient air pressure at room temperature (RT). A synergistic effect between the external electric field and the Fe/NC catalyst promotes the ammonia activation and the dehydrogenation of the generated imine intermediates and avoids the unwanted backwards reaction to aldehydes. This electric field enhanced ammoxidation system presents high efficiency and selectivity for the conversion of a series of aldehydes under mild conditions with high durability, rendering it an attractive process for the green synthesis of nitriles with fragile functional groups.

Abstract
Organic matter is actively searched on Mars with current and future space missions as it is a key to detecting potential biosignatures. Given the current harsh environmental conditions at the surface of Mars, many organic compounds might not be preserved over a long period as they are exposed to energetic radiation such as ultraviolet light, which is not filtered above 190 nm by the martian atmosphere. Moreover, the presence of strong oxidizing species in the regolith, such as perchlorate salts, might enhance the photodegradation of organic compounds of astrobiological interest. Because current space instruments analyze samples collected in the upper surface layer, it is necessary to investigate the stability of organic matter at the surface of Mars. Previous experimental studies have shown that uracil, a molecule relevant to astrobiology, is quickly photolyzed when exposed to UV radiation under the temperature and pressure conditions of the martian surface with an experimental quantum efficiency of photodecomposition (φexp) of 0.30 ± 0.26 molecule·photon-1. Moreover, the photolysis of uracil leads to the formation of more stable photoproducts that were identified as uracil dimers. The present work aims to characterize the additional effect of calcium perchlorate detected on Mars on the degradation of uracil. Results show that the presence of calcium perchlorate enhances the photodecomposition of uracil with φexp = 12.3 ± 8.3 molecule·photon-1. Although some of the photoproducts formed during these experiments are common to those formed from pure uracil only, the Fourier transformation infrared (FTIR) detection of previously unseen chemical functions such as alkyne C ≡ C or nitrile C ≡ N has shown that additional chemical species are formed in the presence of calcium perchlorate in the irradiated sample. This implies that the effect of calcium perchlorate on the photolysis of uracil is not only kinetic but also related to the nature of the photoproducts formed.

Abstract
The dehydrogenation of amines has been identified as an efficient method for nitrile synthesis. At present, this approach is restricted to (oxidative) dehydrogenations of primary amines, most often with specialized homogeneous catalysts. In this work, amines were transfer dehydrogenated to nitriles using simple and cheap alkenes (e.g. ethylene or propene) as hydrogen scavengers. The scope was expanded to secondary amines, tertiary amines and even aldehydes. Additional nitrogen is built in from NH3. The versatility of the process was proven by coupling it to the ammonolysis of secondary amides. This enabled us to recycle long-chain polyamides (LCPA) into monomeric compounds, i.e. α,ω-amidonitriles and dinitriles. Reactions were performed with a recyclable heterogeneous Pt catalyst, at 200 °C and with limited addition of NH3 and ethylene. High yields of up to 94% were obtained for the corresponding nitriles.

Engineered aldoxime dehydratase to enable the chemoenzymatic conversion of benzyl amines to aromatic nitriles. Bioorg Chem 2023; 134:106468.

Abstract
A chemoenzymatic strategy has been implemented to synthesize nitriles from benzyl amines under mild conditions. Aldoxime dehydratase (Oxd) plays a decisive role to convert aldoximes into corresponding nitriles. However, natural Oxds commonly exhibit extremely low catalytic capacity toward benzaldehyde oximes. Here, we engineered the OxdF1 from Pseudomonas putida F1 to enhance its catalytic efficiency toward benzaldehyde oximes by a semi-rational design strategy. The protein structure-based CAVER analysis indicates that M29, A147, F306, and L318 are located adjacent to the substrate tunnel entrance of OxdF1, which were responsible for the transportation of substrate into the active site. After two rounds of mutagenesis, the maximum activities of the mutants L318F and L318F/F306Y were 2.6 and 2.8 U/mg respectively, which were significantly higher than the wild OxdF1 of 0.7 U/mg. Meanwhile, the lipase type B from Candida antarctica was functionally expressed in Escherichia coli cells to selectively oxidize benzyl amines to aldoximes using urea-hydrogen peroxide adduct (UHP) as an oxidant in ethyl acetate. To merge the oxidation and dehydration reactions, a reductive extraction solution was added to remove the residue UHP, which is critical to eliminate its inhibition on the Oxd activity. Consequently, nine benzyl amines were efficiently converted into corresponding nitriles by the chemoenzymatic sequence.

Abstract
Cyanation of benzylic C-N bonds is useful in the preparation of important α-aryl nitriles. The first general catalytic cyanation of α-(hetero)aryl amines, analogous to the Sandmeyer reaction of anilines, was developed using reductive cyanation with CO2/NH3. A broad array of α-aryl nitriles was obtained in high yields and regioselectivity by C-N cleavage of intermediates as ammonium salts. Good tolerance of functional groups such as ethers, CF3, F, Cl, esters, indoles, and benzothiophenes was achieved. Using 13CO2, a 13C-labeled tryptamine homologue (five steps, 31% yield) and Cysmethynil (six steps, 37% yield) were synthesized. Both electronic and steric effects of ligands influence the reactivity of alkyl nickel species with electrophilic silyl isocyanates and thus determine the reactivity and selectivity of the cyanation reaction. This work contributes to the understanding of the controllable activation of CO2/NH3 and provides the promising potential of the amine cyanation reaction in the synthesis of bio-relevant molecules.

Abstract
Nitriles are broadly applied to synthesize pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials because of their versatile transformation. Although various methods have been developed for introducing a nitrile group into organic molecules, most of them entail the use of highly toxic chemicals, transition metals, or harsh conditions. In this work, we reported a greener chemo-enzymatic cascade to synthesize alky and aryl nitriles from readily accessible aldehydes, that were further transformed into corresponding amides via an artificial enzyme cascade. A biphasic reaction system was designed to bridge chemical synthesis and enzymatic catalysis through simple phase separation. The biphasic system mainly perfectly avoided the inactivation of hydroxylamine on aldoxime dehydratase from Pseudomonas putida (OxdF1) and nitrile hydratase from Aurantimonas manganoxydans ATCC BAA-1229 (NHase1229). For the synthesis of various nitriles, moderate isolation yields of approximately 60% were obtained by the chemo-enzymatic cascade. Interestingly, two seemingly conflicting reactions of dehydration and hydration were sequentially proceeded to synthesize amides by the synergistic catalysis of OxdF1 and NHase1229 in E. coli cells. An isolation yield of approximately 62% was achieved for benzamide at the one-liter scale. In addition, the shuttle transport of substrates and products between two phases is convenient for the product separation and n-hexane recycling. Thus, the chemo-enzymatic cascade shows a potential application in the cyanide-free and large-scale synthesis of nitriles and amides. A chemo-enzymatic cascade was developed for the cyanide-free synthesis of nitriles from aldehydes and further one-pot transformation into amides.![]()

Abstract
Nitriles are highly important synthetic intermediates with applications in a wide variety of organic reactions including production of pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and agricultural chemicals. Thus, developing effective green routes to oxidize amines to nitriles is of great interest. One promising method to achieve the oxidation of primary amines to nitriles is through electrochemical oxidation on NiOOH electrodes. This reaction has long been thought to occur through an indirect mechanism consisting of a series of potential independent hydrogen atom transfer steps to catalytic Ni3+ sites in NiOOH, which reduces NiOOH to Ni(OH)2. The role of the applied potential in this mechanism is simply to regenerate NiOOH by oxidizing Ni(OH)2. In this work, we demonstrate that a second, potential-dependent pathway recently found to apply to alcohol and aldehyde oxidation on NiOOH and consisting of potential-dependent hydride transfer to Ni4+ sites is the dominant pathway for the oxidation of amines using propylamine and benzylamine as model systems. After qualitatively and quantitatively examining the contributions of indirect and potential-dependent oxidation pathways to amine oxidation on NiOOH, we also examine the effect the amine concentration, solution pH, applied bias, and deuterium substitution have on the two pathways, further clarifying their mechanisms and exploring what factors control their rate. This work provides a comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of primary amine oxidation on NiOOH.

Abstract
Treatment of phosphine oxides with nitriles usually furnishes 1,2-dihydrophosphinylation products. Herein, we developed a nickel-catalyzed 1,1-dihydrophosphinylation of nitriles with phosphine oxides to access primary amines. This reaction proceeded smoothly under very mild conditions. A series of nitriles and phosphine oxides were compatible with this conversion, and the desired products were obtained in moderate to good yields.

Abstract
The Pd-catalyzed transformation of N-phthaloyl hydrazones into nitriles involving the cleavage of an N-N bond is reported. The use of N-heterocyclic carbene as a ligand is essential for the success of the reaction. N-Phthaloyl hydrazones prepared from aromatic aldehydes or cyclobutanones are applicable to this transformation, which gives aryl or alkenyl nitriles, respectively.

Abstract
Biomimetic oxidation of primary amines to carboxylic acids has been developed where the copper-containing amine oxidase (CuAO)-like o-NQ-catalyzed aerobic oxidation was combined with the aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH)-like TBHP-mediated imine oxidation protocol. Notably, the current tandem oxidation strategy provides a new mechanistic insight into the imine intermediate and the seemingly simple TBHP-mediated oxidation pathways of imines. The developed metal-free amine oxidation protocol allows the use of molecular oxygen and TBHP, safe forms of oxidant that may appeal to the industrial application.

Abstract
Oxidative cyanation of aldehydes provides a promising strategy for the cyanide-free synthesis of organic nitriles. Design of robust and cost-effective catalysts is the key for this route. Herein, we designed a series of Se,S,N-tri-doped carbon nanosheets with a hierarchical porous structure (denoted as Se,S,N-CNs-x, x represents the pyrolysis temperature). It was found that the obtained Se,S,N-CNs-1000 was very selective and efficient for oxidative cyanation of various aldehydes including those containing other oxidizable groups into the corresponding nitriles using ammonia as the nitrogen resource below 100 °C. Detailed investigations revealed that the excellent performance of Se,S,N-CNs-1000 originated mainly from the graphitic-N species with lower electron density and synergistic effect between the Se, S, N, and C in the catalyst. Besides, the hierarchically porous structure could also promote the reaction. Notably, the unique feature of this metal-free catalyst is that it tolerated other oxidizable groups, and showed no activity on further reaction of the products, thereby resulting in high selectivity. As far as we know, this is the first work for the synthesis of nitriles via oxidative cyanation of aldehydes over heterogeneous metal-free catalysts.

Abstract
Utilizing the inherent high nitrogen content in natural microalgae to produce value-added nitrogen-containing compounds such as fatty amides and fatty nitriles is a promising method. Herein, a method for producing value-added fatty amides and nitriles by liquefaction of natural microalgae from water blooms in n-heptane was developed. The effects of temperature, metal oxide catalyst (ZrO2 , Al2 O3 , TiO2 , ZnO, MgO, CaO), catalyst amount, and reaction time on the preparation of value-added nitrogen-containing compounds were studied. Under the optimized conditions (0.3 g ZrO2 , 300 °C, 6 h), the total yield of fatty amides was 6.9 wt %, and the yield of fatty nitriles was 1.9 wt %. Compared with the results obtained in the absence of ZrO2 , after adding ZrO2 the total yield of fatty acids was reduced by 4.7 wt % (18.5 to 13.8 wt %), while the total yield of fatty amides only increased by 0.9 wt % (6.0 to 6.9 wt %) and fatty nitriles was increased by 1.5 wt % (0.4 to 1.9 wt %). Exploring the role of ZrO2 by using model compounds (i. e., palmitic acid and palmitamide) revealed that ZrO2 could promote the dehydration of fatty amides to form fatty nitriles, but had limited effect on the reaction of fatty acid and NH3 .

Abstract
Aromatic nitriles are important structural motifs that frequently existed in pharmaceutical drugs. Due to the convenient synthesis of aldoximes from aldehydes, the dehydration of aldoximes to corresponding nitriles by aldoxime dehydratases (Oxds) is considered as a safe and robust enzymatic production route. Although the Oxd genes are widely distributed in microbial kingdom, so far less than ten Oxds were expressed and further characterized. In this study, we found 26 predicted putative Oxd genes from the GenBank database using a genome mining strategy. The Oxd gene from Pseudomonas putida F1 was cloned and functionally expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The amino acid sequence of OxdF1 shows high identities of 33∼85 % to other characterized Oxds, and contained a ferrous heme as the catalytic site. The optimum reaction pH and temperature of recombinant OxdF1 were 7.0 and 35 °C, respectively. OxdF1 was stable in pH 7.0 potassium phosphate buffer at 30 °C, and its half-life was approximately 3.8 h. OxdF1 can efficiently dehydrate aromatic and heterocyclic aldoximes to nitriles, such as 2-bromobenzaldoxime, 2-chloro-6-fluorobenzaldoxime, thiophene-2-carboxaldoxime, and pyridine-3-aldoxime. Therefore, the recombinant OxdF1 shows a potential application in the cyanide-free synthesis of aromatic nitriles.
