Metalated nitriles exhibit complementary chemoselectivities in electrophilic alkylations. N-Lithiated or C-magnesiated nitriles can be prepared from the same nitrile precursor and selectively reacted with a 1:1 mixture of methyl cyanoformate and benzyl bromide or bifunctional electrophiles through chemoselective attack onto either an alkyl halide or a carbonyl electrophile. A mechanistic explanation for the chemoselectivity preferences is provided that rests on the structural and complexation differences between N- and C-metalated nitriles.
