Sulfones and alkylnitriles play a significant role in both organic and medicinal chemistry, as versatile synthetic building blocks and privileged pharmacophores in many natural products and bioactive compounds. Herein, a room‐temperature, copper‐catalyzed radical cross‐coupling of redox‐active cycloketone oxime esters and sulfinate salts is described for the first time. Key to the success of this process

We describe copper-catalyzed cyanomethylation of imines and α,β-alkenes with a methylnitrile source and provide an efficient route to synthesize arylacrylonitriles and β,γ-unsaturated nitriles. This method tolerates aliphatic and aromatic alkenes substituted with a variety of functional groups such as F, Cl, Br, Me, OMe, tert-Bu, NO2, NH2 and CO2H with good to excellent yields (69–98%). These systems
