The authors propose a single-stage synthesis for the nitrile of retinoic acid involving reaction of the all-trans-retinal with ammonium molybdate in the presence of ammonium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide under the conditions of phase-transfer catalysis. As the authors established, this transformation is distinguished by high selectivity and is not accompanied by epoxidation or isomerization of the double bonds. In addition, the reaction evidently has general significance in the series of retinoids, and this the authors demonstrated for the case of the production of the nitriles of 3,4-didehydro-, 5,6-epoxy-5,6-dihydro-, and 4-ketoretinoic acids. The /sup 1/H NMR spectra were recorded in deuterochloroform on a Bruker WM-250 spectrometer.
