A highly efficient enantioselective hydrogenation of 1,2-dicyanoalkenes catalyzed by the complex of rhodium and f-spiroPhos has been developed. A series of 1,2-dicyanoalkenes were successfully hydrogenated to the corresponding chiral 1,2-dicyanoalkanes under mild conditions with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee). This methodology provides efficient access to the asymmetric synthesis of chiral diamines.

A stereoselective 1,2-dicyanation of various alkynes in the presence of trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) by palladium(II) catalysis under aerobic conditions is investigated. This reaction includes two cyanation pathways, syn- and anti-cyanopalladation to alkynes that are activated by Pd(II). High syn-selectivity was observed in the reaction using terminal alkynes that have bulky substituents at a propargyl position and aliphatic internal alkynes. Furthermore, a dramatic acceleration was observed with substrates having an N-arenesulfonyl functionality at a propargyl position, this indicates that both sulfoxide and carbon-carbon triple bond act as Lewis bases to Pd(II).
