A straightforward gram-scale preparation of cyclohexa-1,4-diene-based hydrogen cyanide (HCN) surrogates is reported. These are bench-stable but formally release HCN and rearomatize when treated with Lewis acids. For BCl3, the formation of the isocyanide adduct [(CN)BCl3]? and the corresponding Wheland complex was verified by mass spectrometry. In the presence of 1,1-di- and trisubstituted alkenes, transfer of HCN from the surrogate to the C?C double bond occurs, affording highly substituted nitriles with Markovnikov selectivity. The success of this transfer hydrocyanation depends on the Lewis acid employed; catalytic amounts of BCl3 and (C6F5)2BCl are shown to be effective while B(C6F5)3 and BF3?OEt2 are not.
Carbopalladation of nitriles: Synthesis of benzocyclic ketones and cyclopentenones via Pd-catalyzed cyclization of ω-(2-iodoaryl)alkanenitriles and related compounds

An efficient procedure for the synthesis of 2,2-disubstituted benzocyclic ketones by intramolecular carbopalladation of nitriles has been developed. The cyclization of substituted 3-(2-iodoaryl)-propanenitriles affords indanones in high yields. The reaction is compatible with a wide variety of functional groups. This methodology has been extended to the synthesis of tetralones and cyclopentenones.
