Chiralnitriles and their derivatives are prevalent in pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. Enantioselective alkene hydrocyanation represents a convenient and efficient approach for synthesizing these molecules. However, a generally applicable method featuring a broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance remains elusive. Here, we address this long-standing synthetic problem using
Nickel‐Catalyzed Tandem Reaction of Functionalized Arylacetonitriles with Arylboronic Acids in 2‐MeTHF: Eco‐Friendly Synthesis of Aminoisoquinolines and Isoquinolones
example of the nickel-catalyzed tandem addition/cyclization of 2-(cyanomethyl)benzonitriles with arylboronic acids in 2-MeTHF has been developed, which provides the facile synthesis of aminoisoquinolines with good functional group tolerance under mild conditions. This chemistry has also been successfully applied to the synthesis of isoquinolones by the tandemreaction of methyl 2-(cyanomethyl)benzoates
