A Lewis acid-promoted Pinner reaction

Abstract: SummaryCarbonitriles and alcohols react in a Lewis acid-promoted Pinner reaction to carboxylic esters. Best results are obtained with two equivalents of trimethylsilyl triflate as Lewis acid. Good yields are achieved with primary alcohols and aliphatic or benzylic carbonitriles, but the straightforward synthesis of acrylates and benzoates starting with acrylonitrile and benzonitrile, respectively, is similarly possible. Phenols are not acylated under these reaction conditions. The method has been used for the … Show more

“…The synthesis of the imidate derivative was carried out using a base in order to promote the formation of an alkoxide and the addition of the formed anion to an electron‐poor nitrile, also known as Pinner reaction . Due to the choice of the base (sodium hydride) and prolonged reaction times (4 h), the formation of the α‐anomer of the resulting protected glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate was favoured .…”

“…The Pinner reaction involves the reaction between an alcohol (either aliphatic or aromatic with no steric hindrance) and a nitrile (either aliphatic or aromatic). Carbonitriles in the presence of hydrochloric acid react with alcohols to give imidate hydrochlorides as reported by Pfaff et al [14] when they obtained good yields from reacting benzylic carbonitriles with primary alcohol. The reaction mechanism involves activation of nitrilium chloride from protonation of nitrile-nitrogen leading to the alcohol attacking the nitrile carbon [15].…”

“…In the case of PF-00835231, the Cysteine thiol group forms a covalent bond with the ketone group of the terminal α-hydroxyketone moiety to give a hydrogen bond-stabilized hemithioacetal, together with additional hydrogen bonds with a number of other key residues. Nirmatrelvir occupies the active site in a similar way, with Cys-145 binding covalently to its nitrile group via a Pinner-like reaction and several hydrogen bonds [ 102 , 161 ]. ( Fig.…”
