Abstract
The direct conversion of primary alcohols into nitriles is reported (RCH 2 OH into RCN) using manganese dioxide and ammonia in 2-propanol-THF, containing magnesium sulfate at room temperature. This transformation, which proceeds via an in situ oxidation-imination-aldimine oxidation sequence, has been applied to a range of benzylic, heterocyclic, allylic and propargylic alcohols.
