For the ones who prefer reducing nitriles (hydrazine hydrate over Raney Ni gives excellent results - has it ever been posted?) to reducing nitrostyrenes. Convertion of a PhCHO to BzOH via Canizzaro rxn (then treated w/HCl and KCN) as described on Rh's site. Patent GB627769 Antoncho |

Hmmmm. Last time I'm crazy about reduction of nitriles, cause I find a simple ways to 2C-substantions... So, what do I know about nitriles??? After that I UTFSEd I found only one post I've like, this post, there Antoncho mentioned about reduction of nitriles over Raney nickel with great yield... Antoncho, it seems noonebee observed you said... Let's try to improve it So, what do I know about nitriles??? Triptamine synthesis (quoted from Khimicheskaja nauka i promyshlennostj, 1959,4, N2,281-282). Nitrile reduction with Hydrazine hydrate over Raney-Nickel Here mentioned, this method works with benzylcyanides too To mixture of 0,016mol of 3-indolylacetonitrile, 0,5g of Raney-Nickel catalist and 50ml of ethanol, 48ml of hydrazine hydrate was added by small portions. After addition was completed, mixture was heated to 100C. Heating was continued until the NH3-isolation bring to a stop. Catalist was filtered off and ethanol was evaporated in vacuo. Result - 2,4g of triptamine, yield is 95%. Enjoy. BTW, does somebee knows, will the Mannich rxn work with 2,5-DMBA (to produce 2,5-dimethoxy-4-N,N-dimethylaminomethylb Thanx. There's a hole in our soul that we fill with dope And we're feeling fine. |

No, the Mannich reaction only works with phenols. | Bookmark | ||||||
