Herein, we report a nickel-catalyzed carbonylative coupling of α-bromonitriles and alkylzinc reagents with near stoichiometric carbon monoxide to give β-ketonitriles in good yields. The reaction is catalyzed by a readily available and stable nickel(II) pincer complex. The developed protocol tolerates substrates bearing a variety of functional groups, which would be problematic or incompatible with previous synthetic methods. Additionally, we demonstrate the suitability of the method for carbon isotope labeling by the synthesis of 13C-labeled β-ketonitriles and their transformation into isotopically labeled heterocycles.

[1,2] and [2,3] Wittig rearrangements are competing reaction pathways, often leading to uncontrollable product distribution. We employ a single removable functional group to fulfill the dual role of attaining a reversible [2,3] and stabilizing radical int

Cyanohydrins are versatile intermediates toward valuable organic compounds like α-hydroxy carboxylic acids, α-amino acids, and β-amino alcohols. Numerous protocols are available for synthesis of (O-protected) cyanohydrins, but all procedures invariably rely on the use of toxic cyanide sources. A novel cyanide-free synthesis of O-trityl protected cyanohydrins via a catalytic Passerini-type reaction involving aldehydes and trityl isocyanide is reported. The feasibility of a catalytic asymmetric reaction is demonstrated using chiral phosphoric acid catalysis.
