During the development of a palladium catalyzed C–H activation cross-coupling reaction involving acyl halides, it was noted that palladium(II) acetate catalyzes the acylative cleavage of tetrahydrofuran (used as a solvent) at room temperature to afford the corresponding 4-chlorobutyl ester derivative. After optimization, the reaction was shown to work well with epoxides, oxetane and tetrahydrofuran, but only barely with oxanes at room temperature. Acyclic ethers systematically failed to react under similar conditions, but underwent complete conversion in a microwave reactor at 100 °C.
Synthesis of Nitriles from Haloesters, Haloketones and Haloethers

The action of NaCN on haloesters, haloketones and haloethers has been studied.Haloesters wherein halogen and ester functions are located on adjacent carbon atoms, do not furnish the corresponding nitriles, whereas those with halogen and ester functions not located on adjacent carbon atoms, furnish the corresponding nitriles in good yields.The presence of hydroxy or ether function on the carbon adjacent to primary halide bearing carbon atom does not interfere in the reaction with cyanide. δ-Haloketones are transformed to ketonitriles, γ-Haloketones are transformed to cyclopropyl ketones and epoxyhalides to epoxynitriles.
