Stephen Aldehyde Synthesis
Stephen Aldehyde Synthesis When we convert cyanides into aldehydes by a method of partial reduction in presence of SnCl 2 /HCl, which is followed by hydrolysis , is called as Stephens aldehyde synthesis Stephen aldehyde synthesis was first used by Henry Stephen . This reaction used for preparation of aldehydes (R-CHO) from nitriles (R-CN) using tinchloride (SnCl 2 ) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). This reaction is more useful when aromatic nitriles are used but not for all aromatic nitriles.
