Abstract The B(C6F5)3-catalyzed silylative reduction of conjugated nitriles has been developed to afford synthetically valuable β-silyl amines. The reaction is chemoselective and proceeds under mild conditions. Mechanistic elucidation indicates that it proceeds by rapid double hydrosilylation of the conjugated nitrile to an enamine intermediate which is subsequently reduced to the β-silyl amine, thus forming a new C(sp3)-Si bond. Based on this mechanistic understanding, a preparative route to enamines was also established using bulky silanes. Triple whammy: The B(C6F5)3-catalyzed silylative reduction of conjugated nitriles has been developed to afford synthetically valuable β-silyl amines. Based on the mechanistic understanding, a preparative route to enamines was also established using bulky silanes. The reaction is chemoselective, has a broad scope, and proceeds under mild reaction conditions. The mechanism of the triple hydrosilylation is discussed.

Reactions of 3-arylpropenenitriles [ArCH[dbnd]CHCN] with arenes [Ar'H] under the superelectrophilic activation conditions with Br?nsted superacid TfOH (CF3SO3H) or strong Lewis acid AlBr3 result, first, in the formation of products of hydroarylation of the carbon-carbon double bond, 3,3-diarylpropanenitriles [Ar(Ar’)CHCH2CN]. Reactions may go further in TfOH leading to 3-arylindanones, as products of intramolecular aromatic acylation by the electrophilically activated nitrile group. Intermediate cationic species, derived at the protonation of the starting 3-arylpropenenitriles onto the carbon of C[dbnd]C bond and the nitrile nitrogen, have been studied by DFT calculation. A plausible reaction mechanism including the formation of highly reactive dications [(Ar)HC+–CH2C+ = NH] has been proposed. The obtained 3,3-diarylpropanenitriles have been transformed into pharmaceutically valuable 5-(2,2-diarylethyl)-1H-tetrazoles [Ar(Ar’)CHCH2Tetr] and 3-diarylpropylamines [Ar(Ar’)CH(CH2)2NH2] by the reactions with NaN3 and LiAlH4 correspondingly.

The direct conversion of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes to corresponding nitriles promoted by Pd(OAc)2 and phthalic acid which was hydrolyzed from N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) has been disclosed. Additionally, it was found that when water was used as the solvent, α,β-unsaturated amides was obtained as the main products in good to excellent yields. It was first reported that NHPI was utilized as the nitrogen source to synthesize α,β-unsaturated nitriles and amides from aldehydes. Control experiment demonstrated that aldehydes undergo a process of oximation and dehydration to form nitriles and amides.
