Alkenenitrile transmissive olefination: Synthesis of the putative lignan "morinol I"

Grignard reagents trigger an addition-elimination with α′- hydroxy acrylonitriles to selectively generate Z-alkenenitriles. The modular assembly of Z-alkenenitriles from a Grignard reagent, acrylonitrile, and an aldehyde is ideal forstereoselectively synthesizing alkenes, as illustrated in the synthesis of the putative lignan morinol I.
