  2. Pinner reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinner_reaction

    The Pinner reaction refers to the acid catalysed reaction of a nitrile with an alcohol to form an imino ester salt (alkyl imidate salt); this is sometimes referred to as a Pinner salt. [1] The reaction is named after Adolf Pinner, who first described it in 1877.

  3. Nitrile reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrile_reduction

    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. The hydride is then transferred to ...

  4. Diisobutylaluminium hydride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diisobutylaluminium_hydride

    Although DIBAL reliably reduces nitriles to aldehydes, the reduction of esters to aldehydes is infamous for often producing large quantities of alcohols. Nevertheless, it is possible to avoid these unwanted byproducts through careful control of the reaction conditions using continuous flow chemistry. [5]

  5. Nitrile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrile

    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). [1]

  6. Stephen aldehyde synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_aldehyde_synthesis

    Stephen aldehyde synthesis, a named reaction in chemistry, was invented by Henry Stephen (OBE/MBE).This reaction involves the preparation of aldehydes (R-CHO) from nitriles (R-CN) using tin(II) chloride (SnCl 2), hydrochloric acid (HCl) and quenching the resulting iminium salt ([R-CH=NH 2] + Cl −) with water (H 2 O).

  7. Carboximidate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboximidate

    This proceeds via the acid catalyzed attack of nitriles by alcohols. General mechanism of the Pinner reaction [3] Imidates produced in this manner are formed as their hydrochloride salts, which are sometimes referred to as Pinner salts. Carboximidates are also formed as intermediates in the Mumm rearrangement and the Overman rearrangement.

  8. Sodium bis (2-methoxyethoxy)aluminium hydride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_bis(2-methoxyethoxy...

    Nitrogen derivates such as amides, nitriles, imines, and most other organonitrogen compounds are reduced to the corresponding amines. Nitroarenes can be converted to azoxyarenes, azoarenes, or hydroazoarenes, depending on the reaction conditions. [1] Some common functional group reductions using SMEAH can be found below:

  9. Ritter reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritter_reaction

    The Ritter reaction proceeds by the electrophilic addition of either a carbenium ion or covalent species [5] [6] to the nitrile. The resulting nitrilium ion is hydrolyzed to the desired amide. Primary, [ 7 ] secondary, [ 4 ] tertiary, [ 8 ] and benzylic [ 9 ] alcohols , [ 1 ] as well as tert -butyl acetate, [ 10 ] also successfully react with ...
