An efficient nickel-catalyzed addition of benzyl nitriles to terminal vinyl ketones via C(sp(3))-H functionalization has been developed, providing a novel protocol for the synthesis of α-functionalized benzyl nitriles with structural diversity under mild reaction conditions without the use of a strong base. This work might be potentially useful towards the development of an enantioselective variant using chiral nitrogen ligands.
An efficient nickel(0)-catalyzed addition of benzyl nitriles to terminal vinyl ketones via C(sp(3))-H functionalization has been developed. The reaction provides a novel and efficient protocol for the synthesis of a-functionalized benzyl nitriles with a wide range of structural diversity under mild reaction conditions while obviating the use of a strong base. The work might be potentially useful toward the development of an enantioselective variant using chiral nitrogen ligands.
