In intermolecular competition experiments with substrate pairs which consist of a β-functionalized ketone and a normal ketone, cyanoalkyl derivatives of Fe, Ti, Cr, and Mn prefer in every case the normal ketone ("anticheleselectivity").NC-CH2Ti(OiPr)3 (4a) and NC-CH2FeCl (3a) are the best reagents for the anticheleselective transfer of the cyanomethyl group.For the anticheleselective transfer of the cyanoisopropyl group, NC-CMe2FeCl (3b) is superior to the corresponding Ti reagents.The ability of 4a as a highly anticheleselective cyanomethylating reagent has also been demonstrated with an intramolecular competition system (diketon 13).The reasons for the observed anticheleselectivity are discussed.
