α-Cyanation of Aromatic Tertiary Amines using Ferricyanide as a Non-Toxic Cyanide Source

The reaction of aromatic tertiary amines with potassium ferricyanide directly provides the useful α‐amino nitriles. The inexpensive iron complex functions both as an oxidant and as a cyanide source. The presence of molecular oxygen speeds up the reaction which can be performed in aqueous tert‐butano...
