The first catalytic cross-metathesis reaction of an alkyne with a nitrile is described. The nitride complex NW(OC(CF3)(2)CH3)(3)(DME) undergoes reversible triple-bond metathesis reactions with alkynes (RCCR; R = Et, 4-C6H4OMe), forming the alkylidyne complexes RCW(OC(CF3)(2)CH3)(3)(DME) (R = Et, 4-C6H4OMe) along with the corresponding nitrile RCN. This has been exploited to effect catalytic cross-metathesis of nitriles with alkynes, in which the organic CR fragments of two nitriles are coupled to yield an alkyne. A simple "sacrificial" alkyne (3-hexyne) acts as the N-atom acceptor, forming two equivalents of nitrile byproduct (propionitrile).

A systematic study of alkyne metathesis catalyzed by trialkoxymolybdenum(VI) alkylidyne complexes is reported, in which substrate functional groups, alkynyl substituents, and catalyst ligands are varied. Sterically hindered trisamidomolybdenum(VI) propylidyne complex 5 was prepared conveniently through a previously communicated reductive recycle strategy. Alcoholysis of 5 with various phenols/alcohols
