Abstract
The reaction between triisobutylaluminium and benzonitrile has been investigated at various temperatures (50–100°) and different reactant moler atios (0.5–4.0). Both reduction and addition products are formed; their relative amounts were found to depend on the experimental conditions adopted, although the reduction products were always present in excess. At room temperature benzonitrile and the organoaluminium compound formed a stoichiometric complex which reacted thermally to give the reaction products. The overall experiment results are discussed and reasonable mechanisms for the addition and reduction reactions given.
