The combination of TpRh(C2H4)2 (Tp = tris(pyrazol-1-yl)borate) and P(2-furyl)3 catalyzes the reaction of tertiary alkyl-substituted alkynes with tert-butylhydrazine, leading to the formation of 3,3,3-trisubstituted propionitrile derivatives. This reaction system is applicable to 1,1-disubstituted propargyl alcohols and amines to afford the corresponding β-cyanohydrins and β-amino nitriles, respectively. The catalytic cycle involves the formation of a vinylidenerhodium complex as a key intermediate.
Reaction of the electrogenerated cyanomethyl anion with carbonyl compounds: A clean and safe synthesis of β-hydroxynitriles
Bianchi, Gabriele,Feroci, Marta,Rossi, Leucio
experimental part, p. 3863 - 3866 (2010/01/11)
The electrogenerated cyanomethyl anion reacts with carbonyl compounds to yield the corresponding β-hydroxymtriles in moderate to high yields. The reported methodology is very clean and safe, avoiding the use of any classical base or catalyst.
Metalated nitriles: Organolithium, -magnesium? and -copper exchange of α-halonitriles

(Chemical Equation Presented) α-Halonitriles react with alkyllithium, organomagnesium, and lithium dimethylcuprate reagents generating reactive, metalated nitriles. The rapid halogen-metal exchange with alkyllithium and Grignard reagents allows selective exchange in the presence of reactive carbonyl electrophiles, including aldehydes, providing a high-yielding alkylation protocol. Lithiated and magnesiated nitriles react with propargyl bromide by SN2 displacement whereas organocopper nitriles react by S N2′ displacement, correlating with the formation of a C-metalated nitrile.
