Advances in the Application of Acetonitrile in Organic Synthesis since 2018

Acetonitrile is commonly used as an organic solvent and can also be important intermediate in synthesis. Its widespread use has led to the development of new methods for synthesis a variety compounds. In past decades, conversion reactions acetonitrile building block have become one most-attractive fields Especially field electrochemical conversions involving acetonitrile, due its good conductivity environmentally friendly features, it powerful compelling tool afford nitrogen-containing compounds or nitrile-containing this review, we mainly discuss research progress five years, covering both conventional Besides, detailed discussion substrate scope mechanistic pathways provided.
