A straightforward gram-scale preparation of cyclohexa-1,4-diene-based hydrogen cyanide (HCN) surrogates is reported. These are bench-stable but formally release HCN and rearomatize when treated with Lewis acids. For BCl3, the formation of the isocyanide adduct [(CN)BCl3]? and the corresponding Wheland complex was verified by mass spectrometry. In the presence of 1,1-di- and trisubstituted alkenes, transfer of HCN from the surrogate to the C?C double bond occurs, affording highly substituted nitriles with Markovnikov selectivity. The success of this transfer hydrocyanation depends on the Lewis acid employed; catalytic amounts of BCl3 and (C6F5)2BCl are shown to be effective while B(C6F5)3 and BF3?OEt2 are not.

Rather crafty: 1,1-Difluoroallenes bearing an aryl group and a cyclopentene moiety undergo indium(III)-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts-type cyclization with subsequent ring expansion and dehydrogenation to afford fluorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in high yields. The introduction of an Ar group was effected by in situ halogenation of the intermediary indium species and a subsequent Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. Copyright
