new protocol for the controlled reduction of nitriles to aldehydes was developed using a combination of sodium hydride and zinc chloride. The iminyl zinc intermediatesderivedfrom aromatic nitriles could be further functionalized with allylmetal nucleophiles to afford homoallylamines. As the method allows the reduction of various aliphatic and aromatic nitriles with a concise procedure under milder

An Fe-catalyzed conversion of aldehydes to ketones via [1,2]-shift has been developed. This skeletalrearrangement shows a wide substrate scope and chemoselectivity profile while exhibiting an excellent [1,2]-aryl or [1,2]-alkyl shift selectivity that is easily switched by electronic effects.
