Rapid and Simple Access to α-(Hetero)arylacetonitriles from Gem-Difluoroalkenes

A scalable cyanation of gem-difluoroalkenes to (hetero)arylacetonitrile derivatives was developed. This strategy features mild reaction conditions, excellent yields, wide substrate scope, and broad functional group tolerance. Significantly, in this reacti

Palladium-Catalyzed Regiodivergent Substitution of Propargylic Carbonates

The palladium(0)-catalyzed, ligand-controlled, regioselective addition of diaryl acetonitrile pronucleophiles to propargylic carbonates is reported. Selective formation of either terminal 1,3-dienyl or propargylated products is proposed to arise from a change in reaction mechanism controlled by the denticity of the coordinating ligand.
