An efficient nickel(0)-catalyzed addition of benzyl nitriles to terminal vinyl ketones via C(sp3)–H functionalization has been developed. The reaction provides a novel and efficient protocol for the synthesis of α-functionalized benzyl nitriles with a wide range of structural diversity under mild reaction conditions while obviating the use of a strong base. The work might be potentially useful toward
