Unsaturated nitriles of the general formula CH2=CHnCN, where n>1, undergo metathesis at room temperature in the presence of the catalyst Re2O7-Al2O3, activated with a small amount of Me4Sn or Et4Sn.

Synthesis of unsaturated amino alcohols through unexpectedly selective Ru-catalyzed cross-metathesis reactions
(Chemical Equation Presented) A two-step synthesis of N-protected unsaturated amino alcohols is disclosed that relies on an unexpectedly selective cross-metathesis (CM) involving allyl cyanide and pent-4-en-1-ol. The solution concentration and the identity of the Ru complex used are critical to the selectivity and efficiency of CM reactions. The intermediate obtained by CM is converted efficiently to the final desired products through a one-pot nitrile reduction/amine protection procedure.
METATHESIS OF FUNCTIONAL DERIVATIVES OF OLEFINS BY THE ACTION OF THE WCl6-1,1,3,3-TETRAMETHYL-1,3-DISILACYCLOBUTANE CATALYTIC SYSTEM
A study was carried out on the metathesis of esters of unsaturated carboxylic acids and nitriles by the action of the WCl6-1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-1,3-disilacyclobutane catalytic system.The possibility of efficient homometathesis and cometathesis with α-olefins and allyltrimethylsilane was demonstrated for ethyl 4-pentenoate and allyl cyanide.
The kinetics and mechanism of the phosphorus-catalysed dimerisation of acrylonitrile
The kinetics and mechanism of the phosphinite-catalysed dimerisation of acrylonitrile to 1,4-dicyanobut-1-ene and 2,4-dicyanobut-1-ene are presented and discussed.
