Three at a time: Sequential carbonyl addition, chelation-controlled conjugate addition, and alkylation triggers the multicomponent assembly of diverse nitriles. The chelation-controlled conjugate addition-alkylation installs three new stereocenters (see scheme), thereby generating substituted nitriles that are ideal terpenoid precursors as illustrated in the synthesis of epi-dehydroabietic acid.
