experimental part, p. 1218 - 1226 (2011/05/04)
Efficient synthesis of monosubstituted malononitriles was achieved by one-pot reductive alkylation of malononitrile with carbonyl compounds via [Cp*RhCl2]2-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation reaction.

supporting information; scheme or table, p. 6518 - 6520 (2009/04/06)
A novel ionic reducing reagent, 3-butyl-1-methylimidazolium borohydride ([bmim][BH4]), was synthesized and successfully used for the selective reduction of carbon-carbon double bonds in conjugated alkenes as well as the α,β-carbon-carbon double bonds in highly activated α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated alkenes. The reagent can be regenerated and reused several times without losing its activity.
Solvent-free mechanochemical and one-pot reductive benzylizations of malononitrile and 4-methylaniline using Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine as the reductantt

The properties of Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine, which possesses excellent reducibility, were investigated. The synthesis of benzyl malononitriles and anilines were also studied. Direct reductive benzylizations of malononitrile and 4-methylaniline by aromatic aldehydes were achieved using a Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine as the reductant. It was observed that there is no need for the separation of the in situ generated benzylidene malononitriles and p-tolylamines.
