title: Nickel-catalyzed decyanation of inert carbon-cyano bonds.
abstract: Nickel catalyzed decyanation of aryl and aliphatic cyanides with hydrosilane as the hydride source has been developed. This method is easy to handle, scalable and can be carried out without a glove box. The method has been applied in the cyanide directed functionalization reaction and α-substitution of benzyl cyanide.
