α-Alkylated (dimethylsilyl)acetonitriles (Me2HSiCR 3R4CN) react spontaneously with aldehydes in DMSO to give β-hydroxynitriles in good to high yields. The addition to ketones is effectively promoted by using MgCl2/su

Electroreduction of γ- and δ-cyano ketones in i-PrOH with Sn cathode gave α-hydroxy ketones and their dehydroxylated ketones as the intramolecularly coupled products.Guaiazulene, (-)-valeranone, polyquinanes, dihydrojasmone, methyl dihydrojasmonate, and rosaprostol have been synthesized by utilizing this electroreductive intramolecular coupling of γ- and δ-cyano ketones in one of the key steps.Similarly, electroreduction of a mixture of ketone and nitrile gave the corresponding intermolecularly coupled product.The product obtained by the electroreductive intermolecular coupling of (+)-dihydrocarvone with acetonitrile has been found to be the precursor of an effective chiral ligand for the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes.
