Photoredox chemistry has emerged as an efficient tool in catalyzing organic reactions as it
utilizes light as an energy source without any external initiator or reagent. The cyanide group …

Transition-metal-catalyzed C–Si/Ge cross-coupling offers promising avenues for the
synthesis of organosilanes/organogermanes, yet it is fraught with long-standing challenges …

The development of a nickel-catalyzed reductive alkyne hydrocyanation is described using 2-
methyl-2-phenylmalononitrile (MPMN), a C-bound electrophilic transnitrilation reagent …

Herein, we report a Ni-catalyzed reductive coupling for the synthesis of benzonitriles from
aryl (pseudo) halides and an electrophilic cyanating reagent, 2-methyl-2-phenyl …

The design of new ligands for cross-coupling is essential for develo** new catalytic
reactions that access valuable products such as pharmaceuticals. In this report, we exploit …

Herein, a nickel-catalyzed arylcyanation of unactivated alkenes via cyano group
translocation with aryl boronic acids has been developed. These transformations provided a …

Reductive cyanation of tertiary alkyl bromides using electrophilic cyanating reagent and zinc
reductant was developed, providing various α-cyano ketones, esters, and carboxamides …

Herein, we disclose the nickel-catalyzed reductive cyanation of alkenyl tosylates and
triflates. Both cyclic and acyclic alkenyl nitriles are produced in moderate to good yield using …

Synthesis of quaternary malononitriles with an aryl substituent is of great importance
because these scaffolds serve as essential intermediates in the synthesis of bioactive …

The use of sodium dithionite with perfluoroalkyl iodides under basic conditions facilitates the
direct perfluoroalkylation of arenes with pendant benzylic electron-withdrawing groups. This …
