“…Thus, several modifications of the Strecker reaction have been developed using a variety of cyanide reagents such as alkaline cyanides [3], Et 2 AlCN [4], (EtO) 2 -POCN [5], Zn(CN) 2 [6], HCN [7], Bu 3 SnCN [8], TMSCN [9], K 4 [Fe(CN) 6 ] [10], along with catalysts variant such as InCl 3 [11], BiCl 3 [12], RhI 3 [13], NiCl 2 [14], RuCl 3 [15], montmorillonite KSF clay [16], silica sulfuric acid [17], silica-supported heteropoly acids [18], silica-bonded sulfamic acid [19], silica-based ionic liquids [20], I 2 [21], xanthan sulfuric acid [22], Zr-MCM-41 nanoreactors [23], Zr-Cu(OTf) 2 [24], K 2 PdCl 4 [25], Al-MCM-41 [26] and Ga-TUD-1 [27] under various reaction conditions homogeneously catalyze the Strecker-type reaction.…”
