The catalytic hydrogenation of carboxylic acid derivatives represents an atom-efficient and clean reduction methodology in organic chemistry. More specifically, the selective hydrogenation of nitriles ...

Resorcinol, 4-nitrobenzonitrile, methanesulfonic acid, thionyl chloride and triethylamine were purchased from TCI (Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). Microcrystalline cellulose was ...

If the household cleaner emits a lemon-like odour, this may be due to a nitrile called citronellyl nitrile. These versatile chemical nitrile groups are also used in the manufacture of active ...

Researchers report that carboxylic acids, functional groups contained in biomolecules, drugs, and materials can be readily modified by light-induced organic reactions using an aminocyclopropenone.
