Lewis-acid catalysts such as AlMe3, AlMe2Cl, and BPh3 significantly improve
the efficiency of the nickel-catalyzed aryl- and alkenylcyanation of alkynes.
Electron-rich cyanides, which exhibit poor reactivity in the absence of Lewis
acids, readily undergo the arylcyanation reaction under the newly disclosed
conditions.

A simple three-step single-pot procedure for Z-stereoselective synthesis
of β-monosubstituted acrylonitriles involves olefination of aldehydes with an in
situ generated α-diaminoboryl carbanion species. Various aromatic and aliphatic
aldehydes were smoothly converted into the corresponding (Z)-olefin
products in good yields.
