Article history:

Alkynyl cyanides are found to add across alkynes and 1,2-dienes in the presence of a catalyst prepared in

situ from Ni(cod)₂, xantphos, and BPh₃. A range of functionalized conjugated cis-enynes are obtained

with high regioselectivity. The addition reaction across norbornadiene proceeds in the absence of BPh₃to

give exo-cis adduct exclusively. A stoichiometric reaction of an alkynyl cyanide, Ni(cod)₂, xantphos, and

BPh₃gives trans-(xantphos)Ni(CNBPh₃)(C^CSiMe₂t-Bu), which is suggested to be a plausible reaction

intermediate of the alkynylcyanation reaction.

efﬁcient construction of carbon frameworks with high regio- and

stereoselectivity as well as atom efﬁciency. Whereas ring expansion

reactions of strained three-¹and four-membered²compounds have

served as this new synthetic strategy, we and others have dem-

onstrated that nickel or palladium-catalyzed addition of nitriles

across unsaturated bonds provides a new entry to this class of

transformation, namely carbocyanation reactions,³that proceed

through oxidative addition of C–CN bonds to nickel(0) or palla-

dium(0).^4–6Scope of nitriles for the carbocyanation covers aryl,

allyl, alkenyl, and alkyl cyanides by virtue of Lewis acid cocataly-

sis,^3j,4qthat has been developed originally by DuPont in the adi-

ponitrile process.⁶Alkynyl cyanides, readily available from terminal

alkynes and cyano phenolate,⁷have also been demonstrated to

undergo the oxidative addition to platinum(0) through the activa-

tion of C(sp)–CN bonds.⁸We therefore have anticipated that the

carbocyanation reaction using alkynyl cyanides would be achieved

by transition metal catalysts to allow direct installation of alkynyl

and cyano groups in a single operation. Herein we report nickel/

2. Results and discussion

2.1. Nickel/BPh₃-catalyzed alkynylcyanation of alkynes

We ﬁrst examined the reaction of 3-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-

propynenitrile (1a) with 4-octyne (2a) in the presence of a catalytic

amount of Ni(cod)₂with various ligands and Lewis acid (LA) cata-

lysts (Table 1). All the phosphorous ligands examined including

monodentate or bidentate gave at most only a detectable amount of

expected alkynylcyanation product 3aa, whereas use of xantphos

was signiﬁcantly effective to obtain 3aa in a moderate yield (entry

14). The cis-addition was unambiguously conﬁrmed by NOE ex-

periments of ¹H NMR after reduction of the cyano group to for-

myl.¹⁰We then examined the effect of Lewis acid cocatalysts and

found that triarylboranes such as BPh₃and B(C₆F₅)₃were highly

effective (entries 15 and 16), while aluminum-based Lewis acid

catalysts, which are effective for arylcyanation reaction,^3jgave

lower yields of 3aa (entries 17 and 18). A high catalyst turnover was

attained even in the presence of 1 mol % of the nickel catalyst and

3 mol % of BPh₃to give 3aa in 95% yield after isolation by ﬂash

column chromatography on silica gel (entry 19). Use of BPh₃in less

nickel(0) catalysts prepared in situ from air-stable NiCl₂$DME/Zn or

With the optimized conditions in hand, we next studied scope of

alkynyl cyanides with 2a as an alkyne substrate (Table 2). Tri-

ethylsilyl variant 1b also added across 2a in an excellent yield

(entry 1). Using diynyl cyanide 1c as a nitrile substrate, conjugated

endiyne 3ca was successfully obtained in 72% yield (entry 2). Re-

actions of aryl-, alkenyl-, and alkylethynyl cyanides with 2 mol

equiv of 2a also gave the corresponding conjugated enynes in

modest to good yields in the presence of 10 mol % of the nickel

catalyst and 30 mol % of BPh₃at higher reaction temperatures

(entries 3–10).¹¹It is noteworthy that a C(sp)–CN bond is prefer-

entially activated over C–Cl and C(sp³)–CN bonds, which may also

oxidatively add to nickel(0) (entries 5, 8, and 9). A conjugated

dienyne structure was obtained with 3-cyclohexenylpropynenitrile

biased substituents such as 4-methyl-2-pentyne (2c) and 2-butyn-

1-al diethyl acetal (2d) showed regioselectivities opposite to aryl-

cyanation of alkynes,^3c,g,jgiving adducts with a bulkier substituent

at the alkynyl substituted carbon (entries 2 and 3). The addition of

1h across 2d showed higher regioselectivity, and 3⁰hd was isolated

as a sole product albeit in a modest yield (entry 4). Terminal alkynes

also participated in the reaction with 1a to give conjugated enynes

having a substituent at the cyano-substituted carbon with fair to

excellent regioselectivities (entries 5–9). Functional groups like

chloro, alkanenitrile, and ester were tolerated (entries 6–8).

The addition reaction across aryl-substituted alkynes gave

trans-adducts in varying amounts (Table 4). Diaryl acetylene 2j

gave trans-adduct (E)-3aj as a major product, the stereochemistry

of which was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis

(Fig. 1).¹²Electron-neutral and -poor arylacetylenes 2k and 2m

showed moderate to good regioselectivities similar to those ob-

served with other terminal alkynes and gave only a small amount of

trans-adducts and regioisomers (entries 2 and 4), whereas elec-

tron-rich one 2l reacted regioselectively but gave trans-adducts in

a larger amount (entry 3). In all cases, ratios of these isomers were

constant throughout the reaction revealed by GC analyses.

completely consumed after 6 h to give a complex, which showed

signals for ³¹P NMR at 23.7 ppm (d, J¼22.3 Hz) and 23.2 ppm (d,

J¼22.3 Hz), and alkynylcyanation products 3ae and 3⁰ae were also

observed in ¹H NMR in 79% and 14% yields as estimated by GC,

respectively (Eq. 1). The new nickel complex observed was assigned

to be cis-(xantphos)Ni(1-octyne) (5) based on the same set of peaks

observed in the reaction of Ni(cod)₂, xantphos, and 2e (5.0 equiv).

These data indicate that coordination and migratory insertion fol-

lowed by reductive elimination are very rapid with terminal al-

kynes as has also been anticipated by the difference of the reaction

temperature (80 ^ꢀC vs 40 ^ꢀC, Table 3).

Thus, the catalytic cycle for the alkynylcyanation reaction should

be initiated by oxidative addition of a C(sp)–CN bond to nickel(0) by

the aid of BPh₃^4q,6to give 4 (Scheme 2). Coordination of an alkyne to

the nickel center of 4 followed by migration of the alkynyl group in 6

or 7 to the alkyne gives cis-alkenylnickel intermediate 8 or 9, which

then reductively eliminates cis-alkynylcyanation product 3 or 3⁰,

respectively. With internal alkynes, the coordination of alkynes

seems to be rate-determining to favor alkyne-coordinated nickel 6

to avoid steric repulsion between C^N–B and bulkier R³to give 3⁰as

a major product through 8. Improved regioselectivity observed with

1h over 1a in the reactionwith 2d (entry 3 vs entry 4, Table 3) may be

understood rationally by this scenario. On the other hand, migration

of the alkynyl group to the less-hindered alkyne carbon through 7

may be favored with terminal alkynes to give 9 and then ﬁnally 3 as

a major product, because coordination of terminal alkynes to the

nickel center is likely to be feasible. The excellent regioselectivity

mixture immediately turned to a homogeneous solution at room

temperature. After evaporation of benzene in vacuo followed by

washing the resulting precipitates with hexane, trans-(xant-

phos)Ni(CNBPh₃)(C^CSiMe₂t-Bu) (4) was obtained as a brown

powder in 84% yield (Scheme 1). Dark red single crystals suitable for

X-ray crystallographic analysis were obtained by recrystallization

from hexane and dichloromethane. The X-ray structure of 4 shown

in Figure 2 clearly indicates the trans geometry with a cyano ligand

coordinating to BPh₃.¹²Treatment of 4 with 2a (5.0 equiv) and BPh₃

(2.0 equiv) in toluene at 80 ^ꢀC for 14 h gave alkynylcyanation prod-

uct 3aa in 81% yield as estimated by GC. Reaction below 50 ^ꢀC

showed no appreciable change in both 4 and 2a: thus, the co-

ordination of 2a to the nickel center appears to be a plausible rate-

determining step. Moreover, the reaction of 1a (1.00 mmol) with 2a

(1.00 mmol) in the presence of a catalytic amount of 4 (1 mol %) and

BPh₃(2 mol %) in toluene at 80 ^ꢀC for 21 h also gave 3aa in 94% yield,

clearly indicating that 4 should be a plausible reaction intermediate

for the present alkynylcyanation reaction.

attained with 2i (entry 9 of Table 3) may indicate the presence of

allylnickel-like stabilization in 9. Such stabilization provided by an

additional -system connecting directly to an alkyne may also be

important in the reactions of aryl-substituted alkynes, especially

those having electron-donating aryl groups, to direct regioselective

migratory insertion. Alternatively, an electron-withdrawing group

could also affect the regioselection by making the LUMO of the al-

kyne-terminus low enough to allow the nucleophilic alkynyl group

to migrate selectively at this position. The trend of regioselectivities

observed with arylacetylenes (entries 2–4 of Table 4) would be de-

rived from the sum of those effects. Formation of trans-adducts

could be ascribed to partial isomerization of cis-alkenylnickel in-

termediates 10 through resonance forms 11 or 12 (Scheme 3).¹³

Electron-donating aryl groups may facilitate this isomerization by

stabilizing the transient nickel–carbene species having formal pos-

itive charge on nickel, thus favoring trans-adducts. Alternatively,

isomerization of the double bond of alkenylnickel intermediates

catalyzed by phosphorus in an intramolecular manner cannot be

ruled out.¹⁴

2.3. Nickel-catalyzed alkynylcyanation of norbornadiene

We next turned our attention to the addition reaction of

alkynyl cyanides across alkene substrate. Attempted reactions of

alkynyl cyanide 1a with simple alkenes including 1-octene, sty-

rene, and 1,3-dodecadiene in the presence of a diverse range of

nickel, a ligand, and a Lewis acid catalyst disappointedly gave no

alkynylcyanation products in any detectable amounts. On the

other hand, the reaction of 1a with norbornadiene (21) took

place in the presence of Ni(cod)₂(2 mol %) and xantphos

(2 mol %) in toluene at 80 ^ꢀC for 17 h to afford exo-cis-alky-

nylcyanation product 22 in 89% yield (Scheme 5). The structure

of 22 was assigned based on NOE experiments of ¹H NMR of

aldehyde 23, which was obtained by reduction of 22. Lewis acid

cocatalysts were not effective for the alkynylcyanation of 21 to

result in lower yields of 22. Highly functionalized norbornene

derivatives like 22 may ﬁnd further applications as precursors for

functionalized cyclopentanes^3eor monomers for functionalized

cyclic oleﬁn polymers through ring-opening metathesis

dodecadiene did not proceed, and these 1,2-dienes were recovered

intact due presumably to steric hindrance to prevent the dienes

coordinating to the nickel center of 4.

The catalytic cycle for the alkynylcyanation of 1,2-dienes

shown in Scheme 4 should also be initiated by formation of 4. The

3. Conclusion

TBS

In conclusion, we have demonstrated alkynylcyanation re-

actions of alkynes and 1,2-dienes catalyzed by nickel/xantphos/

BPh₃. The transformations proceed with high stereo-, regio-, and

chemoselectivities to afford a wide variety of highly functionalized

conjugated enynes in an atom-economic manner. These enyne

products are shown to serve as potent versatile synthetic pre-

cursors for various cyclic and linear compounds. We have also

achieved stereoselective alkynylcyanation of norbornadiene to af-

ford a highly functionalized norbornene. The catalytic cycles of the

alkynylcyanation reactions initiated by oxidative addition of

alkynyl cyanides to nickel(0)/xantphos have been investigated in

detail by isolation, structural characterization, and stoichiometric

and catalytic reactions of trans-(xantphos)Ni(CNBPh₃)(C^CSiMe₂t-

Bu) (4).

High-resolution mass spectra were obtained with a JEOL JMS-700

(EI) or JEOL JMS-HX110A (FABþ) spectrometer. X-ray crystal data

were collected with a Bruker SMART APEX diffractometer. Pre-

parative recycling gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and

preparative recycling silica gel chromatography were performed

with a JAI LC-908 chromatograph equipped with JAIGEL-1H and

-2H (chloroform as an eluent) and JAIGEL-SIL or Nacalai Tesque

5SL-II (hexane–ethyl acetate as an eluent). GC analysis was per-

formed on a Shimadzu GC 2014 equipped with an ENV-1 column

(Kanto Chemical, 30 mꢁ0.25 mm, pressure¼31.7 kPa, detec-

tor¼FID, 290 ^ꢀC) with a helium gas as a carrier. Unless otherwise

noted, commercially available reagents were used without puri-

ﬁcation. Toluene was distilled from sodium/benzophenone ketyl

or purchased from Kanto Chemical and degassed by purging

vigorously with argon for 20 min and further puriﬁed by passing

through activated alumina under positive argon pressure as de-

scribed by Grubbs et al.¹⁸Anhydrous benzene was purchased from

Nacalai Tesque and degassed by bubbling an argon gas vigorously

for 20 min before use. Benzene-d₆was distilled from sodium/

benzophenone ketyl. Alkynyl cyanides⁷and 1,2-dienes¹⁹were

prepared according to the respective literature procedure.

4.3. Alkynylcyanation of alkynes. A general procedure

In a dry box, an alkynyl cyanide (1.00 mmol), an alkyne (1.00–

2.0 mmol), and tetradecane (internal standard, 99 mg, 0.50 mmol)

were added sequentially to a solution of Ni(cod)₂(2.8–28 mg, 10.0–

100

mmol), BPh₃(7.3–73 mg, 30–300

mmol), and xantphos (5.8–

58 mg, 10.0–100

mmol) in toluene (1.5 mL) placed in a vial, which

was taken outside the dry box and heated at the temperature for

the time speciﬁed in Tables 1–4. The resulting reaction mixture was

ﬁltered through a silica gel pad. The ﬁltrate was concentrated in

vacuo, and the residue was puriﬁed by ﬂash column chromatog-

raphy on silica gel to give the corresponding alkynylcyanation

products in yields listed in Tables 1–4. Mixtures of regioisomers

were further separated by preparative recycling silica gel chroma-

tography to give isomerically pure products.

4.2. Synthesis of alkynyl cyanides. A general procedure

To a solution of a terminal alkyne (40 mmol) in diethyl ether

(10 mL) was added a 1.6 M solution of n-BuLi (28 mL, 44 mmol) in

hexane at ꢂ78 ^ꢀC. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at

ꢂ78 ^ꢀC for 1 h, and then cyano phenolate (5.2 g, 44 mmol) was

added. The reaction mixture was warmed up to room temperature

and further stirred for 1 h before quenching with water. The

aqueous layer was extracted with diethyl ether for three times. The

combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried

over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. The

residue was puriﬁed by ﬂash column chromatography on silica gel

to give the corresponding alkynyl cyanides.
