Lewis acid-controlled Pd-catalyzed chemodivergent hydrocyanation of cyclopropenes

Org. Chem. Front., 2024, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/D4QO01609B, Research Article
Rongrong Yu, Song-Zhou Cai, Xianjie Fang
We report a Lewis acid-controlled Pd-catalyzed chemodivergent hydrocyanation of cyclopropenes. In the absence of Al Lewis acid, the reaction predominantly yields ring-opened allylic nitrile products while the addition of Lewis acid favors the formation of cyano-substituted cyclopropane products.
