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

Onsager's model of the dielectric constant is used to provide a molecular-level picture of how the dielectric constant affects mass and charge transport in organic liquids and organic liquid electrolytes. Specifically, the molecular and system parameters governing transport are the
A metal-free C-H oxidation for the construction of allylic esters has been developed. The use of a commercially available and inexpensive catalyst and oxidant, and readily available starting materials, coupled with the operational simplicity of the reaction, renders the methodology
