title: Monoalkylation of acetonitrile by primary alcohols catalyzed by iridium complexes.
abstract: The monoalkylation of acetonitrile by primary alcohols was achieved in a one-pot sequence in the presence of iridium catalysts. A diversity of nitriles has been obtained from aryl- and alkyl-methanols in excellent yield.
