A highly enantioselective synthesis of α-branched acrylonitriles is reported featuring a one-pot sequential asymmetric Michael addition/retro-Dieckmann/retro-Michael fragmentation cascade. The method, which relies on a solid, bench-stable, and commercially available acrylonitrile surrogate, is practical, scalable, and highly versatile and provides a direct access to a wide range of enantioenriched nitrile-containing building blocks. Most importantly, the method offers a new tool to incorporate an acrylonitrile moiety in an asymmetric fashion.

An enantioselective Friedel-Crafts alkylation with α,β-unsaturated 2-acyl imidazoles and electron-rich aromatic nucleophiles catalyzed by bis(oxazolinyl)pyridine-scandium(III) triflate complexes has been accomplished. These α,β-unsaturated 2-acyl imidazol
