Product Information

• Name: 2-Methyloctanenitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Methyloctanenitrile is an oxime that can be hydrocyanated to produce a regioselective addition product. This reaction is catalyzed by the presence of hydroxylamine, which acts as a ligand in the transition state. The reaction proceeds with anti-markovnikov selectivity, which is due to the hydroxyl group on the methyl group. This reaction has been optimized for frequency and rates of reaction, and can be used with aldoximes as well.
