Wittig Reactions of Cyanohydrines and Redox Reaction of 4‐Nitromandelonitrile Substitued mandelonitriles 5 (R 1 H, OCH 3 , NO 2 ) react in the presence of sodium tert ‐ butoxide as a base like the corresponding aldehydes with substituted benzylidenetriphenylphosphoranes via the Wittig reaction to yield 4,4′‐disubstituted stilbenes 8 , for which the ( E )/( Z ) stereoisomer ratios are given. Our results refer to a reaction with a preceding cyanohydrine‐aldehyde equilibrium. 4‐Nitromandelonitrile (5a) forms in a basic methanolic solution via a redox reaction a mixture of dimethyl 4,4′‐azoxybenzenedicarboxylate (11) and methyl 4‐nitrobenzoate (12) .
