A new protocol for the controlled reduction of nitriles to aldehydes was developed using a combination of sodium hydride and zinc chloride. The iminyl zinc intermediates derived from aromatic nitriles could be further functionalized with allylmetal nucleophiles to afford homoallylamines. As the method allows the reduction of various aliphatic and aromatic nitriles with a concise procedure under milder reaction conditions and exhibits wide functional group compatibility, it is well suited for use in various opportunities in chemical synthesis.

An Fe-catalyzed conversion of aldehydes to ketones via [1,2]-shift has been developed. This skeletal rearrangement shows a wide substrate scope and chemoselectivity profile while exhibiting an excellent [1,2]-aryl or [1,2]-alkyl shift selectivity that is easily switched by electronic effects.
