Popis: The CuBr-catalyzed hydrocyanation of conjugated dienes and of vinyl ethers has been investigated. The substitution of the diene system affects considerably the yield of the reaction, butadiene affording the best yield of nitrile whereas substituted diene systems react more sluggishly than butadiene and/or lead to extensive polymer formation. The reaction appears to be very regioselective as one nitrile isomer is very selectively formed in all the investigated cases. The hydrocyanation reaction appears to proceed through the formation of copper-allyl species whereas polymers would be formed by a cationic process.
