Tetrabutylammonium cyanide can be used as a catalyst:
For the deprotection of aliphatic thioacetate to synthesize free thiols in the presence of a protic solvent[1].
In the O-TMS cyanosilylation of carbonyl compounds to synthesize cyanohydrin trimethylsilyl ethers in the presence of trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN)[2].
For the ring expansion of β-lactams to synthesize γ-lactams through a bond cleavage of the β-lactam in the presence of acetonitrile[3].
Tetrabutylammonium cyanide (20 mol %) catalyzes ring expansion of 4-(arylimino)methylazetidin-2-ones 2 to 5-aryliminopyrrolidin-2-ones 3 through a novel N1-C4 bond cleavage of the beta-lactam nucleus. New, efficient one-pot protocols to enantiopure succinimide derivatives 3 and 4 from beta-lactam aldehydes 1 have

The interaction of exciton and charge transfer (CT) states plays a central role in photo-induced CT processes in chemistry, biology, and physics. In this work, we use a combination of two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2D-ES), pump-probe measurements, and quantum chemistry to

The complex cis-[Ru(phpy)(phen)(CH3CN)2](+) (phpy=2-phenylpyridine, phen=1,10-phenanthroline) was investigated as a potential photodynamic therapy (PDT) agent. This complex presents desirable photochemical characteristics including a low energy absorption tail extending into the PDT window (600-850nm) and photoinduced exchange of the CH3CN ligands, generating
