| 1. | First is the reaction between benzonitrile N-benzylide and methyl acrylate.
|
| 2. | Your problem might be distinguishing the benzonitrile and the benzaldehyde.
|
| 3. | :Benzyl cyanide is more usually called benzonitrile.
|
| 4. | Both benzaldehyde and benzonitrile smell like almonds.
|
| 5. | The benzonitrile ligands are readily displaced by stronger ligands, making benzonitrile complexes useful synthetic intermediates.
|
| 6. | The benzonitrile ligands are readily displaced by stronger ligands, making benzonitrile complexes useful synthetic intermediates.
|
| 7. | Benzonitrile forms coordination complexes with transition metals that are both soluble in organic solvents and conveniently labile.
|
| 8. | Benzonitrile can also act a ligand in asymmetric catalysis, coordinating to transition metals and forming Lewis acids.
|
| 9. | Typically benzene, toluene, C2-alkyl benzene and traces of biphenyl, benzonitrile and aliphatic hydrocarbones.
|
| 10. | The epoxidation of various alkanes in the presence of benzonitrile yields oxiranes in yields of 79 to 96 %.
