Abstract

Pentylpyridinium tribromide and aqueous ammonium acetate was used for the rapid oxidative conversion of benzyl alcohols, benzaldehydes and benzyl amines to the corresponding benzonitriles in good to excellent yields. This simple, mild and one-pot system provides easy workup and separation of the products.

Graphical abstractA simple and efficient oxidative conversion of benzyl derivatives of alcohols, aldehydes and amines into corresponding nitriles is described using pentylpyridinium tribromide in the presence of aqueous NH4OAc.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
