A one-pot protocol to obtain C1-homologated aliphatic nitriles was achieved by treating aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes with the (methoxymethyl)triphenylphosphonium ylide followed by hydrolysis of the resulting methyl vinyl ethers with pTsOH (Ts = para-toluenesulfonyl) and treatment with molecular iodine and aqueous ammonia under metal cyanide free conditions. Neopentyl-type nitriles, which could not be obtained by conventional methods that involved conversion of the neopentyl alcohol into a tosylate and treatment with metal cyanide, were successfully obtained by using the present method.

Copper-based catalysts were firstly introduced into the cyanation of benzyl chlorides with non-toxic K4[Fe(CN)6]. The presented method avoids the use of extremely poisonous alkali cyanides and precious palladium catalysts. No other reagent apart from CuI, K4[Fe(CN) 6] and toluene was used in the cyanation, showing that the presented protocol is simple and practical. A series of benzyl chlorides were smoothly cyanated in up to 85% yield under the optimal conditions.
Palladium-catalyzed cyanomethylation of aryl halides through domino Suzuki coupling-isoxazole fragmentation

A one-pot protocol for the cyanomethylation of aryl halides through a palladium-catalyzed reaction with isoxazole-4-boronic acid pinacol ester was developed. Mechanistically, the reaction proceeds through (1) Suzuki coupling, (2) base-induced fragmentation, and (3) deformylation as shown by characterization of all postulated intermediates. Under optimized conditions (PdCl2dppf, KF, DMSO/H2O, 130 °C) a broad spectrum of aryl bromides could be converted into arylacetonitriles with up to 88% yield.
