Abstract
1-Cyanocycloalkenes (1-cyanocyclopentene, -hexene, -heptene, and -octene) were readily synthesized by catalytic cyanation of the corresponding 1-halocycloalkenes with tetracyanocobaltate(I). Reactivities of methyl-substituted 1-chlorocyclohexenes were lower than that of 1-chlorocyclohexene, and 1-chloro-2-methylcyclohexene scarecely reacted. Hydrogenation and isomerization of 1-cyanocycloalkenes were observed only with 1-cyanocycloheptene and 1-cyano-6-methylcyclohexene, respectively.
