General description
Benzonitrile, also known as a phenyl cyanide compound, is a useful solvent and a versatile precursor to many derivatives. It is a good solvent for the study of inorganic, organic, anhydrous, and organometallic compounds.
Application
Benzonitrile can be used as:
- An electrochemical solvent to investigate the electrochemistry, spectroscopic properties, and reactivity of a series of cobalt porphyrins with various substituents.
- Building block or starting material in various organic synthesis reactions.
- Employed in coupling reactions, such as Suzuki couplings or Heck reactions, to facilitate the formation of carbon-carbon bonds.

A variety of highly functionalized polycyclic isoxazoles are prepared by a two-step protocol: (1) 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of o,o'-disubstituted benzonitrile oxides to para-quinone mono-acetals, then (2) dehydrogenation. The cycloaddition proceeds in a regioselective manner, favouring the formation of the 4-acyl cycloadducts

The preparation of two new families of hexanuclear rhenium cluster complexes containing benzonitrile and phenyl-substituted tetrazolate ligands is described. Specifically, we report the preparation of a series of cluster complexes with the formula [Re(6)Se(8)(PEt(3))(5)L](2+) where L = benzonitrile, p-aminobenzonitrile, p-methoxybenzonitrile
