Titanium(III)‐catalyzed reductive decyanation of geminal dinitriles by a non‐free‐radical mechanism

Abstract: A titanium‐catalyzed mono‐decyanation of geminal dinitriles is reported. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions, tolerates numerous functional groups, and can be applied to quaternary malononitriles. A corresponding desulfonylation is demonstrated as well. Mechanistic experiments support a catalyst‐controlled cleavage without the formation of free radicals, which is in sharp contrast to traditional stoichiometric radical decyanations. The involvement of two TiIII species in the C−C cleavage is proposed, and the beneficial role of added ZnCl2 and 2,4,6‐collidine hydrochloride is investigated
