Ni-catalyzed reductive decyanation of nitriles with ethanol as the reductant

A nickel-catalyzed reductive decyanation of aromatic nitriles has been developed, in which the readily available and abundant ethanol was applied as the hydride donor. Various functional groups on the aromatic rings, such as alkoxyl, amino, imino and amide, were compatible in this catalytic protocol. Heteroaryl, benzylic and alkenyl nitriles were also tolerated. Mechanistic investigation indicated that ethanol provided hydride efficientlyviaβ-hydride elimination in this reductive decyanation.

Ni-Catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl thioethers with alkyl Grignard reagents via C-S bond cleavage

A Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl thioethers with alkyl Grignard reagents, accompanied by the cleavage of the C(aryl)-SMe bond, has been presented. This method is distinguished by its mild conditions and moderate functional group tolerance, such as hydroxyl, halogen, and heterocycles, which should provide a straightforward access to the modification of sulfur-containing molecules.
