چکیده

An efficient catalytic route for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated nitriles from easily accessible gem-dibromoolefins has been developed. The method utilized inexpensive reagents such as Cu2O as a catalyst, L-proline as a ligand and NaCN as a cyanide source to afford α,β-unsaturated nitriles in high yields (62-86%). A deuterium exchange study has shown that one of the bromide atoms of gem-dibromoolefins exchanges with cyanide while the other with a deuterium atom.

Chiral Cu(II)-catalyzed enantioselective β-borylation of α,β-unsaturated nitriles in water

The promising performance of copper(II) complexes was demonstrated for asymmetric boron conjugate addition to α,β-unsaturated nitriles in water. The catalyst system, which consisted of Cu(OAc)2 and a chiral 2,2'-bipyridine ligand, enabled β-borylation and chiral induction in water. Subsequent protonation, which was accelerated in aqueous medium, led to high activity of this asymmetric catalysis...

Enantioselective Synthesis of Homoallylic Azides and Nitriles via Palladium-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Allylation.

Azides and nitriles are important building blocks for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing bioactive compounds. The first example of enantioselective palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylation of α-azido and cyano β-ketoesters is reported. Indanone derivatives were obtained in 50-88% yield/77-97% ee and 46-98% yield/78-93% ee for azide and nitrile substituents, respectively. The required st...
