Aryl acetonitriles can react with halohydrocarbon in a 50% NaOH solution to give α-substituted aryl acetonitriles under the PTC of(t-Bu)4NBr,and their structures were confirmed by IR,1HNMR,and EA.

Synthesis of α-substituted aryl acetonitriles catalyzed by phase transfer catalysis;

The preparation of aryl amides by selective oxidation of aryl nitriles using sodium tungstate as catalyst and sodium percarbonate or sodium carbonate-hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant in a methanol and water solution was studied.

Copper-catalyzed one-pot conversion of aromatic aldehydes into aromatic nitriles;

The process for preparing aromatic nitrile based on aromatics by ammonia oxidation is characterized by finely grained catalyst and free turbulent fluid bed, which is developed at home and has reached advanced level in the world.

As a dominant method of producing aromatic nitriles,ammoxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons is widely used in synthesis of fine chemicals such as alkyl aromatic nitriles, haloaromatic nitriles and heteroaromatic nitriles.

Study on oxidation of aryl nitriles to amides catalyzed by heteropolyacids in aqueous/organic biphasic system;
