The mechanism for the reduction of a nitrile to an aldehyde with DIBAL-H. The hydride reagent Diisobutylaluminium hydride, or DIBAL-H, is commonly used to convert nitriles to the aldehyde. [ 14 ] Regarding the proposed mechanism, DIBAL forms a Lewis acid-base adduct with the nitrile by formation of an N-Al bond.
Isocyanide. General resonance structure of an isocyanide. An isocyanide (also called isonitrile or carbylamine) is an organic compound with the functional group – N+≡C−. It is the isomer of the related nitrile (–C≡N), hence the prefix is isocyano. [1] The organic fragment is connected to the isocyanide group through the nitrogen atom ...
The reduction of nitro compounds are chemical reactions of wide interest in organic chemistry. The conversion can be effected by many reagents. The nitro group was one of the first functional groups to be reduced. Alkyl and aryl nitro compounds behave differently. Most useful is the reduction of aryl nitro compounds.
The structure of a nitrile: the functional group is highlighted blue. In organic chemistry, a nitrile is any organic compound that has a −C≡N functional group.The name of the compound is composed of a base, which includes the carbon of the −C≡N, suffixed with "nitrile", so for example CH 3 CH 2 C≡N is called "propionitrile" (or propanenitrile).

Infobox references. Diisobutylaluminium hydride (DIBALH, DIBAL, DIBAL-H or DIBAH) is a reducing agent with the formula (i -Bu 2 AlH) 2, where i -Bu represents isobutyl (-CH 2 CH (CH 3) 2). This organoaluminium compound is a reagent in organic synthesis. [1]
Cyanohydrin. The structure of a general cyanohydrin. In organic chemistry, a cyanohydrin or hydroxynitrile is a functional group found in organic compounds in which a cyano and a hydroxy group are attached to the same carbon atom. The general formula is R2C (OH)CN, where R is H, alkyl, or aryl. Cyanohydrins are industrially important precursors ...
Propionitrile, also known as ethyl cyanide and propanenitrile, is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CH 2 CN. It is a simple aliphatic nitrile. The compound is a colourless, water-soluble liquid. It is used as a solvent and a precursor to other organic compounds.
L-selectride is a organoboron compound with the chemical formula Li[ (CH3CH2CH (CH3))3BH]. A colorless salt, it is usually dispensed as a solution in THF. As a particularly basic and bulky borohydride, it is used for stereoselective reduction of ketones. [ 1 ][ 1 ]
