Fe-Catalyzed Direct Synthesis of Nitriles from Carboxylic Acids with Electron-Deficient N-Cyano-N-aryl–arylsulfonamide

Abstract: Established carboxylic acids to nitriles conversion methods suffer from expensive catalysts, tedious steps, high temperatures (>200 °C), high pressure, or a narrow substrate range. Herein, we demonstrate a concise and efficient access to diverse nitrile compounds from ubiquitous carboxylic acids with electron-deficient N-cyano-N-aryl–arylsulfonamide (NCAS) in moderate to excellent yields. This strategy is promoted by an inexpensive iron catalyst and is generally compatible with primary, secondary, tertiary, an… Show more

“…Methods for the synthesis of terminal E -configured alkenyl nitriles, including Fe-catalyzed deoxynitrogenation of carboxylic acids, , Ni or Rh-mediated hydrocyanation across carbon–carbon multiple bond, , and Fe-catalyzed direct functionalization of aryl ethenes, have been established. However, many of these methods require environmentally benign transition-metal catalysts.…”

“…Activated nitriles and �,�-unsaturated nitrile moieties are involved in a wide variety of natural plant products, drugs, colourants and agrochemicals (Fleming & Wang, 2003;Ahmed et al, 2022); they also represent versatile starting materials for the synthesis of a wide variety of therapeutically important heterocycles (Zhang et al, 2019;Metwally et al, 2023). The generally accepted importance of these functions (Wang et al, 2016;Hebishy et al, 2023) is reflected in the investment of much effort to synthesize them (Zhang et al, 2023;Elgemeie et al, 1998a,b). Recently, we have reported several new methods for the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant heterocycles utilizing activated nitriles and �,�-unsaturated nitriles as starting materials (e.g.…”
