17. 2 and PhCH=NOH were obtained as the single stereoisomers. The stereochemistry remains to be determined.
18. An optimized amount of 3 Å MS was used. It was found that at least 120 mg of 3 Å MS was required for a quantitative conversion of 1.50 mmol of benzaldehyde (1) into benzonitrile (2).
19. Satisfactory spectral and LC-MS analytical data were obtained for all products; all known nitriles showed physical and spectral properties identical to those reported in the literature.
