A small organic molecule phenylacetonitrile promoted chemoselective cyclization of (chromen-3-yl)alkynylnitriles to generate a novel tetracyclic or tricyclic chromone scaffold has been discovered. Importantly, the phenylacetonitrile serves as an anion transfer reagent changing the normal reaction of the substrate.

Enantiomerically pure alpha-substituted alpha-amino phenylacetonitriles have been readily prepared from 2-p-tolylsulfinylbenzaldimines following a two-step sequence: a moderately stereoselective hydrocyanation of the imines and a completely stereoselective quaternization of the resulting diastereoisomeric mixture of alpha-amino phenylacetonitriles with different alkylating or acylating

Males of a variety of insects transfer an anti-aphrodisiac pheromone to females during mating that renders them less attractive to conspecific males. In cabbage white butterflies, the transfer of an anti-aphrodisiac can result in the unwanted attraction of tiny egg

The carbanionic species possibly formed during the first alkylation step of phenylacetonitrile lithiated anion by CH(3)I and PhCH(2)Cl in THF-hexane solution and their complexes with the lithium salt formed have been observed by infrared spectrometry and characterized by density functional

To locate their hosts, parasitic wasps can 'eavesdrop' on the intraspecific chemical communications of their insect hosts. Here we describe an example in which the information exploited by the parasitic wasp Trichogramma brassicae is a butterfly anti-aphrodisiac that is passed
