Formal Allylation and Enantioselective Cyclopropanation of Donor/Acceptor Rhodium(II) Azavinyl Carbenes

A highly efficient formal allylation of dihydronaphthotriazoles with alkenes under rhodium(II) catalysis is reported. Various allyl dihydronaphthalene derivatives were furnished via rhodium(II) azavinyl carbenes with moderate to good yields and excellent chemoselectivity. When monosubstituted alkenes are used, cyclopropanation occurs and good to excellent enantioselectivities have been achieved. Particularly noteworthy is the allylic C(sp2)-H activation instead of traditional C(sp3)-H activation in the formal allylation process.

Cu/Ni-Catalyzed Cyanomethylation of Alkenes with Acetonitrile for the Synthesis of β,γ-Unsaturated Nitriles

We have developed a protocol for the Cu/Ni-catalyzed cyanomethylation of alkenes with acetonitrile for the synthesis of β,γ-unsaturated nitriles. This is the first example of a direct coupling of the alkene sp2 C - H bond and the acetonitrile sp3 C - H bond for the preparation of β,γ-unsaturated nitriles. Acetonitrile, an inexpensive and stable solvent, is demonstrated to be a useful cyanomethyl source. The combination of copper and nickel catalysts resulted in a high reaction efficiency.

Synthesis of Tertiary Benzylic Nitriles via Nickel-Catalyzed Markovnikov Hydrocyanation of α-Substituted Styrenes

The Markovnikov hydrocyanation of α-substituted styrenes enables the synthesis of tertiary benzylic nitriles under nickel catalysis. The Lewis-acid-free transformation features an unprecedented functional groups tolerance, including the-OH and-NH2 groups. A broad range of tertiary benzylic nitriles were obtained in good to excellent yields. In addition, an asymmetric version of this reaction was preliminarily investigated.
