We disclose a Ni-catalyzed reductive arylcyanation of alkene using environmentally benign and nontoxic organo cyanating reagent N-cyano-N-phenyl-p-toluenesulfonamide. This reaction provides a new method for the rapid synthesis of cyano-substituted oxindoles and isoquinoline-1,3-diones and features high functional group tolerance. In addition, an enantioselective version was developed for the construction of enantiomerically enriched 3-cyanomethyl oxindole. This method has also been applied to the synthesis of natural alkaloids (+)-esermethole and (+)-physostigmine.

A straightforward Ni(ii)-catalyzed general strategy was developed for the ortho-halogenation of electron-deficient arenes with easily available halogenating reagents N-halosuccinimides (NXS; X = Br, Cl and I). The transformation was highly regioselective and a wide substrate scope and functional group tolerance were observed. This discovery could be of great significance for the selective halogenation of amides, benzoic esters and other substances with guiding groups. Mechanistic investigations were also described.

Conversion of a wide range of N-Boc amides to aryl ketones was achieved with Grignard reagents via chemoselective C(O)-N bond cleavage. The reactions proceeded under catalyst-free conditions with different aryl, alkyl, and alkynyl Grignard reagents. α-Ketoamide was successfully converted to aryl diketones, while α,β-unsaturated amide underwent 1,4-addition followed by C(O)-N bond cleavage to provide diaryl propiophenones. N-Boc amides displayed higher reactivity than Weinreb amides with Grignard reagents. A broad substrate scope, excellent yields, and quick conversion are important features of this methodology.
