The first nickel-catalyzed hydrogen-borrowing alkylation of a series of aryl acetonitriles with a variety of aryl, heteroaryl, allylic and alkyl alcohols releasing water as the by-product (>33 examples, up to 90% yield) is reported.

A practical method to synthesize α‐alkylated arylacetonitriles from arylacetonitriles and alcohols without using any expensive transition metal complexes is demonstrated here. Following this base‐catalysed sustainable procedure, various arylacetonitriles were successfully alkylated with different alcohols. The practical applicability of this protocol was extended by one‐pot synthesis of important carboxylic
The ability of N-heterocyclic carbenes to promote O-to-C carboxyl transfer on a range of indolyl and benzofuranyl carbonates is examined, and the scope and limitations of this process delineated.
