prepared through Rh‐catalyzed addition of arylboronicacids to 2,2‐disubstituted malononitriles. In contrast to the previously described transnitrilative cyanation of arylboronicacids with dialkylmalononitriles, the present reaction avoids retro‐Thorpe collapse of the intermediate addition product through the use of a milder base. The reaction was amenable to a variety of arylboronicacids and disubstituted

The catalytic intermolecular arylation of disubstituted geminal dinitriles with in situ generated arylnickel complexes is disclosed. This method efficiently provides various all-carbon substituted α-cyanocarbonyl compounds without additives and an inert atmosphere. It also demonstrates the arylation of R-BINOL and S-BINOL derived geminal dinitriles, preserving optical purity. Mechanistic studies proved

Alpha-Cyanoalkyl aryl ketones can be obtained from ketone aroylhydrazones by heterogeneous reaction with aqueous sodium cyanide, an inert organic solvent, and acetic acid in the presence of air and a catalytic amount of a quaternary ammonium salt. The initially formed HCN adducts undergo air oxidation followed by alkaline-induced decomposition affording the alpha-cyanoalkyl ketones. The phase-transfer catalyst promotes all three reactions.
