A novel and practical DIAD-promoted oxidative cyanomethylation of alkenes with acetonitrile by copper catalysis was developed, in which oxindoles bearing a nitrile moiety at the 3-position were synthesized efficiently via dual C-H bond cleavage of an arene and acetonitrile. This protocol demonstrated that DIAD served as a new promoter instead of commonly encountered AgF or base for the C-sp3-H functionalization of acetonitrile for the first time. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
