Reductive cyanation of tertiary alkyl bromides using electrophilic cyanating reagent and zinc reductant was developed, providing various α-cyano ketones, esters, and carboxamides containing a nitrile-bearing all-carbon quaternary center in good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. The corresponding reaction mechanism involving in situ generated organozinc reagent and reactivity distinction was elucidated by density functional theory computation.

This paper reports that tertiary α-azidyl phenyl ketones can be transformed into enamides by treatment with FeBr2 at elevated temperature in DMF. The reaction proceeds via 1,2-benzoyl migration from α-carbon to the nitrogen atom, accompanied by expulsion of a nitrogen molecule. This protocol is suitable for the synthesis of N-(cyclopent-1-en-1-yl)benzamides, N-(cyclohex-1-en-1-yl)benzamides, and N-benzoyl-α-methyl enamines and provides a convenient approach toward isoquinolones.

Chiral α-allenols are prepared with high diastereocontrol through an unprecedented and spontaneous β-oxygen elimination of an α-epoxy vinyl boronate. Stochiometric experiments and DFT calculations support a dual role of the copper catalyst, which orchestrates the hydroboration and the syn-elimination step.
