TL;DR: In this article, a variety of hydrogen cyanide adducts of β-chloroaldimines using acetone cyanohydrin were prepared, and the reactive behavior of these α-amino-γ-chloronitriles towards bases was investigated with the aim to generate 1-aminocyclopropanecarbonitrile, which are precursors for the potentially plant growth regulating 1-AMINOCOPPARANecarboxylic acids.

TL;DR: In this article, borane-methyl sulfide in dichloromethane was used for the synthesis of N-(4methoxyphenyl)-[2,2, 2,2-trichloro-1-(4-methoxide]-ethylamine which is a known insecticide.
