“Novel Palladium Complex Synthesized for Highly Efficient α-Olefination of Nitriles by Primary Alcohols”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38116906

A new palladium complex has been synthesized from a macrocyclic organosulfur ligand and used as a catalyst for the α-olefination of nitriles by primary alcohols, yielding α,β-unsaturated nitrile compounds with high efficiency and without generating any harmful by-products.
