The 1,2-dianion reactivity of the reagent generated from EtMgBr and titanium isopropoxide was illustrated when N-acyl cyanohydrins were used as substrates (>20 examples), giving both aminocyclopropane derivatives and 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds. When the reaction was performed in diethyl ether, 5-hydroxy-1,4-diketones were the main product. Under specific conditions (use of tetrahydrofuran and a bulky
The first oxidativecoupling of alkylnitriles with aromatic carboxylicacids using di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) as oxidant was achieved under the catalysis of ionic Fe(III) complexes bearing an imidazolinium cation. This protocol features nontoxic iron catalysis, direct α-C(sp3)–H bond oxidative esterification of alkylnitriles, non-prefunctionalized starting materials, and a broad substrate scope

Double duty: In the presence of titanium isopropoxide, Grignard reagents were found to react with acyl cyanohydrins to give substituted 5‐hydroxy‐1,4‐diketones (see scheme). This new reaction involves a formal addition of a 1,2‐dianionequivalent to both the ester and nitrile moieties.

A convenientaccess to 2-hydroxycyclopentenones was designed from acylcyanohydrins, by using titanacyclopropane complexes as nucleophilic partners and an intramolecular aldol condensation in basic conditions. The development of a one-pot procedure allows a step- and atom-economic process, and the use of Grignard reagents other than ethylmagnesium bromide provided valuable 3,4-disubstituted 2-hydroxycyclopentenones
