A new method for achieving the decyanation of disubstituted malononitrile derivatives without using reducing agents has been developed. Treatment of a six-membered malononitrile derivative with NaHMDS followed by methanol afforded the corresponding acetonitrile derivative in high yield. The present method was applicable to the decyanation reactions of a variety of malononitriles including four- and five-membered compounds as well as acyclic ones.

A new protocol for the controlled reduction of nitriles to aldehydes was developed using a combination of sodium hydride and zinc chloride. The iminyl zinc intermediates derived from aromatic nitriles could be further functionalized with allylmetal nucleophiles to afford homoallylamines. As the method allows the reduction of various aliphatic and aromatic nitriles with a concise procedure under milder reaction conditions and exhibits wide functional group compatibility, it is well suited for use in various opportunities in chemical synthesis.

An electrochemical aliphatic C-H amination strategy was developed to access the important heterocyclic motifs of pyrrolidines and piperidines within a uniform reaction protocol. The mechanism of this unprecedented C-H amination strategy involves anodic C-H activation to generate a benzylic cation, which is efficiently trapped by a nitrogen nucleophile. The applicability of the process is demonstrated for 40 examples comprising both 5- and 6-membered ring formations.

Procedures for the oxidative decyanation of secondary nitriles to ketones involve (1) iodination of N-(trialkylsilyl)ketenimines derived from secondary nitriles and subsequent hydrolysis of the α-iodo nitriles with silver oxide, (2) addition of nitrosobenzene to N-(trialkylsilyl)ketenimines, (3) conversion of secondary nitriles to α-(phenylthio) nitriles and subsequent hydrolysis with N-bromosuccinimide in aqueous acetonitrile, and (4) preparation of α-hydroperoxy nitriles by direct oxygenation of anions of secondary nitriles and subsequent reductive hydrolysis with stannous chloride followed by sodium hydroxide.The latter general procedure was applied to various secondary nitriles bearing dialkyl, aryl and alkyl, and diaryl substituents to provide ketones in good yield and was extended to the oxidative decyanation of α,β-unsaturated nitriles to furnish α,β-unsaturated ketones.
