There is a strong incentive for environmentally benign and sustainable production of organic nitriles to avoid the use of toxic cyanides. Here we report that manganese oxide nanorod-supported single-site Ru catalysts are active, selective, and stable for oxidative cyanation of various alcs. to give the corresponding nitriles with mol. oxygen and ammonia as the reactants. The very low amount of Ru (0.1 wt %) with at. dispersion boosts the catalytic performance of manganese oxides. Exptl. and theor. results show how the Ru sites enhance the ammonia resistance of the catalyst, bolstering its performance in alc. dehydrogenation and oxygen activation, the key steps in the oxidative cyanation. This investigation demonstrates the high efficiency of a single-site Ru catalyst for nitrile production The experimental process involved the reaction of 3-Pyridinemethanol(cas: 100-55-0Computed Properties of C6H7NO)
3-Pyridinemethanol(cas: 100-55-0) belongs to pyridine. Pyridine is widely used in the precursor to agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Also, it is used as an important reagent and organic solvent.Computed Properties of C6H7NO
