Abstract

A Ni/(S,S)-BDPP-catalyzed intramolecular Heck cyclization of N-(2-iodo-aryl) acrylamide with 2-methyl-2-phenylmalononitrile was developed to give oxindoles with good enantioselectivities. We found that utilizing such an electrophilic cyanation reagent could tackle the deleterious effect of the coordinative cyanide ion in the asymmetric alkene arylcyanation.
