In recent years, oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of amines has proven to be an efficient, clean and fundamental route for the synthesis of nitriles. This review focuses on the different types of reactions for the oxidation of amines to nitriles such as transition metal‐catalysis, photoactivation, acceptorless dehydrogenation, nitroxyl radical‐mediated, and N,O‐doped mesoporous carbon. Emphasis is placed on the ODH of amines to the corresponding nitriles using ruthenium catalysts. Metal free systems utilizing iodine, TEMPO and its derivatives, TCCA with or without additives are also discussed. The ODH of amines using N,O‐doped mesoporous carbon is elaborated. Attention is also given to major improvements, achievements, and challenges that still remain in the field of nitrile synthesis from amines.

胺通过氧化脱氢合成腈的方法

近年来，胺的氧化脱氢（ODH）已被证明是合成腈的一种有效，清洁和基本的途径。这篇综述着重于胺氧化为腈的不同类型的反应，例如过渡金属催化，光活化，无受体脱氢，硝氧基自由基介导和N，O掺杂的介孔碳。使用钌催化剂将胺的ODH重点放在相应的腈上。还讨论了使用碘或TEMPO及其衍生物TCCA的无金属体系（有或没有添加剂）。使用N，O掺杂的中孔碳对胺的ODH进行了详细说明。还关注了胺类腈合成领域中仍然存在的重大改进，成就和挑战。
