Abstract
Abstract Acetone cyanohydrin was found to be a facile, convenient and comparatively safer alternative to toxic sodium cyanide/acetic acid system for generating in situ HCN for the oxidative cyanation of tertiary amines to α-aminonitriles in high yields with hydrogen peroxide using RuCl 3 as catalyst. In addition organic nature of acetone cyanohydrin makes it more suitable for an organic transformation since it is readily soluble in reaction medium ...
