Herein, we report a Ni-catalyzed reductive coupling for the synthesis of benzonitriles from aryl (pseudo)halides and an electrophilic cyanating reagent, 2-methyl-2-phenyl malononitrile (MPMN). MPMN is a bench-stable, carbon-bound electrophilic CN reagent that does not release cyanide under the reaction conditions. A variety of medicinally relevant benzonitriles can be made in good yields. Addition of NaBr to the reaction mixture allows for the use of more challenging aryl electrophiles such as aryl chlorides, tosylates, and triflates. Mechanistic investigations suggest that NaBr plays a role in facilitating oxidative addition with these substrates.

Nickel-catalyzed enantioselective cross-couplings between symmetric cyclic sulfates and aromatic Grignard reagents are described. These reactions are effective with a broad range of substituted cyclic sulfates and deliver products with asymmetric tertiary carbon centers. Mechanistic experiments point to a stereoinvertive SN2-like oxidative addition of a nickel complex to the electrophilic substrate.

NMR chemical shifts of 1H, 13C, and 73Ge, molecular modeling, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction results are reported for a series of substituted tris- and tetrakis(phenyl)germanes of the type (XC6H4)3GeY and (XC6H 4)4Ge, where X = o-, m-, and p-OCH3, o-, m-, and p-OC2H5, m- and p-CF3, H, p-C(CH 3)3, p-Cl; and Y = Cl and H. Chemical shifts and X-ray data are also reported for o-CH3 and o-OCH3 tetrakis(phenoxy)- ((XC6H4O)4Ge) and thiophenoxygermanes ((XC6H4S)4Ge). For tetrakis derivatives, 73Ge resonances are observed for all but the o-methoxyphenoxy compound, for which the inability to detect a resonance is attributed to rapid quadrupolar relaxation caused by intramolecular interactions of the methoxy oxygen with the central atom. The observation of a relatively broad, slightly upfield 73Ge resonance in the analogous phenyl and thiophenoxy derivatives suggests, as do the results of molecular modeling, that in these compounds there is some hypercoordination. The solid-state structures show bond angles at the aromatic carbon bearing the alkoxy group that suggest an interaction of the alkoxy oxygen with germanium. Oxygen-germanium bond distances are about 17% shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii.
