Tertiary, benzyl, and allylic nitro compounds undergo nuclephilic substitutionreactions with carbonnucleophiles such as electron rich aromatic compounds, allylsilanes, or silyl enol ethers in the presence of SnCl4.
remote from the “initiation” position. However, a similar strategy for the construction of quaternarycarboncenters is still underdeveloped and only a limited number of reports exist. Herein, we report a nickel-catalyzed migratory hydrocyanation of unconjugated dienes to construct remote cyano-substituted quaternarycarboncenters. This transformation features exceptional regioselectivity, mild reaction
