A new iridium-catalyzed reductive Strecker reaction for the direct and efficient formation of α-amino nitrile products from a broad range of (hetero)aromatic and aliphatic tertiary amides, and N-alkyl lactams is reported. The protocol exploits the mild and highly chemoselective reduction of the amide and lactam functionalities using IrCl(CO)[P(C6H5)3]2 (Vaska's complex) in the presence of tetramethyldisiloxane, as a reductant, to directly generate hemiaminal species able to undergo substitution by cyanide upon treatment with TMSCN (TMS=trimethylsilyl). The protocol is simple to perform, broad in scope, efficient (up to 99 % yield), and has been successfully applied to the late-stage functionalization of amide- and lactam-containing drugs, and naturally occurring alkaloids, as well as for the selective cyanation of the carbonyl carbon atom linked to the N atom of proline residues within di- and tripeptides.
Nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of unactivated alkyl halides and tosylate carrying a functional group with alkyl and phenyl Grignard reagents

experimental part, p. 5644 - 5646 (2011/02/25)
By the use of catalytic amounts of a nickel salt and a 1,3-butadiene, primary and secondary alkyl Grignard reagents undergo cross-coupling with alkyl bromides, iodide, and tosylate carrying a functional group such as amide, ester, and ketone at 0 °C in THF. The present procedure provides a simple, convenient, and practical method for construction of carbon chains in the presence of various functional groups. PhMgBr also gave the corresponding coupling product in a moderate yield.
