Abstract

An efficient and eco-friendly method has been developed for the synthesis of α-aminonitriles via one-pot three-component condensation of carbonyl compounds, amines, and Zn (CN) 2 under mild conditions. This protocol has the features of use of inexpensive, ecofriendly readily available, effective cyanide source, high yield, and simple work-up procedure.
