Deadly KCN and pricey metal free track for accessing β-ketonitriles employing mild reaction conditions

A one pot synthesis of β-ketonitriles from readily accessible 3-chloropropenals using economically benign iodine, aqueous ammonia and sodium hydroxide solution, employing mild reaction conditions have been described. This report presents a convenient, inexpensive, highly toxic-matter-free and eco-friendly approach for β-ketonitriles.

Selective Synthesis of β-Ketonitriles via Catalytic Carbopalladation of Dinitriles

A practical, convenient, and highly selective method of synthesizing β-ketonitriles from the Pd-catalyzed addition of organoboron reagents to dinitriles has been developed. This method provides excellent functional-group tolerance, a broad scope of substrates, and the convenience of using commercially available substrates. The method is expected to show further utility in future synthetic procedures.

Asymmetric Hydroacylation Involving Alkene Isomerization for the Construction of C3-Chirogenic Center

A new transformation pattern for enantioselective intramolecular hydroacylation has been developed involving an alkene isomerization strategy. Proceeding through a five-membered rhodacycle intermediate, 3-enals were converted to C3- or C3,C5-chirogenic cyclopentanones with satisfactory yields, diastereoselectivities, and enantioselectivities. A catalytic cycle has been theoretically calculated and the origin of the stereoselection is rationally explained.

SeO2-Mediated One-Pot Synthesis of 3-Cyanofurans from 3-Oxo-3-arylpropanenitriles and Substituted Acetaldehydes

An SeO2-mediated one-pot method was established for the synthesis of 3-cyanofurans from 3-oxo-3-arylpropanenitriles and substituted acetaldehydes. The generality of the reaction was explored, and a plausible mechanism is proposed.

Substrate-controlled switchable asymmetric annulations to access polyheterocyclic skeletons

An unexpected domino process from Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates of isatins and acrylate and α-cyano-α,β-unsaturated ketones to deliver highly enantioenriched tetrahydrofuro[2′,3′:4,5]pyrano[2,3-b]indoles catalysed by cinchona-derived tertiary amines, involving α-regioselective cyclopropanation, ring-opening, and ring-closure cascade reactions, was disclosed. In contrast, spirooxindoles incorporating a cyclopentene motif were produced through [3+2] annulations by employing Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates from isatins and acrylonitrile under similar catalytic conditions. Density functional theory calculations were conducted to elucidate the novel domino process and the switchable annulation reactions.
