Abstract
Herein, a nickel-catalyzed arylcyanation of unactivated alkenes via cyano group translocation with aryl boronic acids has been developed. These transformations provided a robust approach to constructing structurally diverse 1,n-dinitriles or 4-amino nitriles from easily prepared and commercially available starting materials. The cyano group translocation was achieved, involving the addition into the intramolecular C–N triple bond followed by the retro-Thorpe reaction. Mechanistic studies revealed that high temperature and CsHCO3 as the base were crucial for the cyano group translocation.
