The molybdenum benzylidynes [ArCMo(OC(CF3)2CH3)3(1,2-dimethoxyethane)], where Ar = Ph (2a), p-(OCH3)C6H4 (2b), p-(CF3)C6H4 (2c), p-(NO2)C6H4 (2d), or 4-(NO2)-3-(CF3)C6H3 (2e), and [p-(NO2)C6H4CMo(OC(CF3)2CH3)3] (2f) catalyze the ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction of diallyl N-tosylamide (3) to produce 1-tosyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole (4) and ethylene. The scope of RCM catalytic activity of 2e, cross-metathesis of 1-hexene, and ring-opening metathesis polymerization of cyclooctene were explored. The X-ray crystal structure of 2e was determined. Variable-temperature 1H NMR spectra revealed the formation of intermediates during the reaction of 3 with 2f and the reforming of 2f after completion of the reaction. The use of 13C-labeled Mo benzylidyne did not show transfer of the carbon atom next to Mo to any of the products.

Li and co-workers describe the catalytic cyanation of organic halides with CO2 and NH3. In the presence of Cu2O/DABCO as the catalyst, a variety of aromatic bromides and iodides were transformed to the desired nitrile products with broad functional-group tolerance. Both 13C- and/or 15N-labeled nitriles were obtained conveniently with appropriately isotope-labeled CO2 and NH3. Construction of functionalized chemical compounds from small molecules in a highly selective and efficient manner is crucial for sustainable development. The chemical-based manufacturing sector of the future should aim to produce chemicals from very simple and abundant resources, just as nature uses CO2 and N2 to generate sugars, amino acids, and so forth. In practice, however, the utilization of CO2 for the generation of industrial products, such as drugs and related intermediates, still remains a major challenge. Here, we describe the facile cyanide-free production of high-value nitriles with CO2 and NH3 as the sole sources of carbon and nitrogen, respectively. This practical and catalytic methodology provides a unique strategy for the utilization of small molecules for sustainable and cost-effective applications. Selective cyanation of aryl halides was achieved with CO2 and NH3 as the only sources of carbon and nitrogen, respectively. In the presence of Cu catalysts under low pressure (3 atm), a variety of aromatic iodides and bromides were transformed to the desired nitrile products without the use of toxic metal cyanides. Notably, olefins, esters, amides, alcohols, and amino groups were tolerated. Mechanistic studies suggest that Cu(III)-aryl insertion by isocyanate intermediates is involved. [13C,15N]-labeled nitriles were conveniently accessible from the respective isotope-labeled CO2 and NH3 via this methodology.

Double C-C bond cleavage of a cyclopentadienyl ligand proceeded to titanacyclopentadienes when 2 equiv of nitriles were added and the resulting two-carbon unit and three-carbon unit were converted into a benzene derivative and a pyridine derivative, respectively, in one-pot. Copyright
