Abstract: Some α,β-unsaturated nitriles, cyanoesters and cyanoamides have been synthesized bycondensation of the substituted benzaldehydes with corresponding compounds with activemethylene group in the presence of bis(p-methoxyphenyl) telluroxide(BMPTO) as catalyst.The yields were 73~97%.All products are the E-isomers as confirmed by their m.p., IR and 1H NMR spectra.

Key words: bis(p-methoxyphenyl)telluroxide, α,β-unsaturated nitrile, cyanoester, cyanoamide
