Abstract
Abstract A new approach to synthesize tolunitriles is reported. Tolunitriles can be prepared by selective ammoxidation of methylbenzyl chlorides prepared by chloromethylation of toluene. The total yields can reach 83% and the selectivity of tolunitriles is almost 100%. This approach provides a new path for preparing alkylbenzonitriles and other aromatic nitriles.
