A rhodium-grafted hydrotalcite (Rh/HT) was prepared by the treatment of a Mg-Al mixed hydroxide (hydrotalcite, HT) with an aqueous RhCl 3·nH2O solution. The formation of the Rh III species on the HT surface was confirmed by X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. The Rh/HT catalyst was demonstrated to effectively promote the 1,4-addition reaction of organoboron reagents to electron-deficient olefins in both organic and aqueous solvents. The strong surface basicity of HT facilitates the formation of a Rh-OH species, which possesses high nucleophilicity, leading to an efficient transmetalation with organoboron reagents. This catalyst system is also applicable in the one-pot three-component synthesis of 2-cyano-3,3-diphenyl propionate due to the bifunctionality of the Rh/HT surface.

A preparative method was developed for the synthesis of ethyl furfurylidenecyanoacetate. Its condensation with phenylmagnesium bromide gave ethyl α-cyano-β-(2-furyl)hydrocinnamate, the decarboxylation of which led to β-(2-furyl)hydrocinnamonitrile. Reduct
