TL;DR: The monoalkylation of acetonitrile by primary alcohols was achieved in a one-pot sequence in the presence of iridium catalysts and a diversity of nitriles has been obtained from aryl- and alkyl-methanols in excellent yield.

TL;DR: In this paper, a soluble manganese(IV) complex with polymer-bound 1,4,7-triazacyclonononanes as ligands catalyzes the oxidation of alkanes by hydrogen peroxide in acetonitrile at room and lower temperatures.
Abstract: Soluble manganese(IV) complexes with polymer-bound 1,4,7-triazacyclononanes as ligands (compound 2) catalyze the oxidation of alkanes by hydrogen peroxide in acetonitrile at room and lower temperatures. The corresponding alkyl hydroperoxides are the main products. The presence of a relatively small amount of acetic acid is obligatory for this reaction. The oxidation of alkanes and olefins exhibits some features (kinetic isotope effect, bond selectivities) that distinguish this system from an analogous one based on the dinuclear Mn(IV) complex 1.

TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetic resonance spectra of some acetylenic compounds, such as acetonitrile and methanol, oriented in the nematic phase of 4, 4-di-nhexyloxy-azoxy benzene or 4-n-octyloxybenzoic acid have been investigated.
Abstract: The proton magnetic resonance spectra of some acetylenic compounds, acetonitrile and methanol, oriented in the nematic phase of 4, 4-di-n-hexyloxy-azoxy benzene or 4-n-octyloxy-benzoic acid have been investigated. From the chemical shift difference of the signals of the acetylenic proton in the isotropic and nematic phase a value of 12± 1.5 ppm is obtained for the anisotropy of the chemical shift. From the spectra of oriented acetontrile-2−13C and methanol−13C accurate values for the H-C-H bond angle of the methyl groups are derived. The absolute sign of the indirect spin coupling constant J13 CH in acetonitrile-2-13C has been found to be positive.
