1. General considerations
All commercially available compounds and solvents were purchased and used as received, unless
otherwise noted. Analytical thin layer chromatography (TLC) was performed on precoated silica gel 60
F254 plates. Visualization on TLC was achieved by the use of UV light (254 nm) and treatment with
phosphomolybdic acid stain followed by heating. Flash chromatography was performed using Silica gel
60 (Merck, particle size 40-63 um, 230-400 mesh). 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on Agilent
400 MHz NMR (Agilent Technologies). Chemical shift values are given in parts per million relative to
internal TMS (0.00 ppm for 1H) or CDCl3 (77.06 ppm for 13C). The following abbreviations were used to
describe peak splitting patterns when appropriate: br = broad, s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q =
quartet, p = pentet, m = multiplet, dd = double of doublet, dt = double of triplet, td = triple of doublet .
Coupling constants, J, were reported in hertz unit (Hz).
2. Optimization for oxoammonium salt-mediated nitriles synthesis
S1
The oxoammnonium salt, 4-AcNH-TEMPO+BF4-, was synthesized according to known procedure.1
A 15 mm flame-dried test tube, which was equipped with a magnetic stir bar and charged with
oxoammonium salt (2.0 equiv, 0.6 mmol) and NH4X (2.4 equiv, 0.72 mmol), was evacuated and
backfilled with nitrogen (this process was repeated 3 times). After 0.3 mL of solvent was added, octanal
(0.3 mmol), and solvent (0.3 mL) were added in sequence. The reaction mixture was stirred for 12 h at 50 oC under N2 balloon, and then cooled to room temperature. The reaction was diluted by adding EtOAc
and washed 4 M HCl aqueous solution. Two layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted
with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with Na2CO3 aqueous solution. The organic
layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The 1H NMR yield of desired product
was determined by integration using an internal standard (1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane).
3. Preparation of aldehydes
6-chlorohexanal was prepared by the oxidation of 6-chlorohexanol.2 Adamantane-1-carbaldehyde, 2-
methyl-2-phenylpropanal, and 4-(tert-butyl)cyclohexanecarbaldehyde were prepared from the
corresponding carboxylic acids.3,4 2-Methyl-3-phenylpropanal was prepared by Heck reaction.5 Other
aldehydes are commercially available.
4. General procedures for 4-AcNH-TEMPO+BF4- mediated nitriles synthesis
A 15 mm flame-dried test tube, which was equipped with a magnetic stir bar and charged with aldehyde
(0.3 mmol, in case of solid), 4-AcNH-TEMPO+BF4- (2.0 equiv, 0.6 mmol), and NH4OAc (4.0 equiv, 1.2
mmol), was evacuated and backfilled with nitrogen (this process was repeated 3 times). After 0.3 mL of
AcOH was added, aldehyde (0.3 mmol, in case of liquid), and AcOH (0.3 mL) were added in sequence.
The reaction mixture was stirred for 12 h at 70 oC under N2 balloon, and then cooled to room temperature.
The reaction was diluted by adding EtOAc and washed 4 M HCl aqueous solution. Two layers were
separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed
with Na2CO3 aqueous solution. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to a
volume of approximately 20 mL by evaporator. To eliminate remaining aldehyde, aqueous 2 M Na2S2O5
aqueous solution (20 mL) was added to the organic layer and stirred for 2 hours. Two layers were
separated, and the organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue
was purified by column chromatography to give nitrile products.

5. Procedure for scale up
A 100 mL flame-dried round bottom flask, which was equipped with a magnetic stir bar and charged
with 4-AcNH-TEMPO+BF4- (2.0 equiv, 20 mmol, 6.0 g) and NH4OAc (4.0 equiv, 40 mmol, 3.2 g), was
evacuated and backfilled with nitrogen (this process was repeated 3 times). After 10 mL of AcOH was
added, octanal (10 mmol, 1.6 mL), and AcOH (10 mL) were added in sequence. The reaction mixture was
stirred for 12 h at 70 oC under N2 balloon, and then cooled to room temperature. The reaction was diluted
by adding EtOAc and washed 4 M HCl aqueous solution. Two layers were separated, and the aqueous
layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with Na2CO3 aqueous
solution. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to a volume of
approximately 20 mL by evaporator. To eliminate remaining octanal, aqueous 2 M Na2S2O5 aqueous
solution (100 mL) was added to the organic layer and stirred for 2 hours. Two layers were separated, and
the organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by
column chromatography to give octanenitrile (71 %, 0.9 g).
6. Regeneration of 4-AcNH-TEMPO+BF4-
A 100 mL flame-dried round bottom flask, which was equipped with a magnetic stir bar and charged
with 4-AcNH-TEMPO+BF4- (2.0 equiv, 20 mmol, 6.0 g) and NH4OAc (4.0 equiv, 40 mmol, 3.2 g), was
evacuated and backfilled with nitrogen (this process was repeated 3 times). After 10 mL of AcOH was
S7
added, octanal (10 mmol, 1.6 mL), and AcOH (10 mL) were added in sequence. The reaction mixture was
stirred for 12 h at 70 oC under N2 balloon, and then cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was
diluted by adding EtOAc and extracted with 4 M HCl aqueous solution. To the obtained aqueous layer,
Na2CO3 aqueous solution was added. The aqueous mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The dark-red
solution was separated, and dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The orange-white
solid, which is crude 4-AcNH-TEMPO, was obtained. The oxidation of the crude 4-AcNH-TEMPO with
HBF4, NaOCl, and NaBF4 gave 4-AcNH-TEMPO+BF4-. After filtration, the regenerated 4-AcNH-
TEMPO+BF4- was obtained in 50 % (3.0 g). The purity of the regenerated 4-AcNH-TEMPO+BF4
- was
analyzed by melting point (185-186 oC) and 1H NMR spectrum in CF3COOD.1
