A nickel-catalyzed reductive decyanation of aromatic nitriles has been developed, in which the readily available and abundant ethanol was applied as the hydride donor. Various functional groups on the aromatic rings, such as alkoxyl, amino, imino and amide, were compatible in this catalytic protocol. Heteroaryl, benzylic and alkenyl nitriles were also tolerated. Mechanistic investigation indicated that ethanol provided hydride efficientlyviaβ-hydride elimination in this reductive decyanation.

A friendly protocol is reported to achieve cyanation of aromatic and vinylic boronic acids using nontoxic and readily available α-cyanoacetates as a cyano source under aerobic conditions. Many aryl/vinyl boronic acids (as well as some iodides and bromides) are amenable substrates to give aryl nitriles and acrylonitriles. This cyanation method provides a safe and operationally convenient alternative to traditional ones requiring toxic cyanide salts.

A catalytic system for cyanation of aryl and vinyl halides with K4Fe(CN)6 based on a structurally tunable and nontoxic polymer backbone of polyamic type with biquinolyl fragments in the polymer chain capable of coordination to PdII ions is developed. The catalyst is eligible for thermal and microwave activation; in the latter case the reaction time is dramatically decreased. Cyanation of vinyl bromides occurs stereoselectively, and the configuration of the starting alkene is retained; even for Z-isomers the impact of configuration inversion is less than 5%. The polymer-based Pd catalyst is applicable for one-pot multi-step synthesis of the precursors of mesogenic structures of biphenyl type. Consecutive cross-coupling and cyanation reactions can be performed in the presence of the same portion of catalyst, in the same solvent, without isolation of intermediate products.
