Fe(Cp)2PF6Catalyzed Efficient Strecker Reactions of Ketones and Aldehydes under Solvent-Free Conditions.

Abstract The synthesis of α-aminonitriles of ketones and aldehydes was performed in very short reaction times (20 min) with excellent yields in the presence of 5 mol % of Fe(Cp) 2 PF 6 under solvent-free conditions.
