A straightforward synthesis of 1,2-dicyanoalkanes RCH(CN)CH(R1)CN [R = 4-OCH3C6H4, thiophen-2-yl, pyridin-3-yl, etc.; R1 = H; RR1 = (CH2)4] by reacting nitroalkenes with trimethylsilyl cyanide in the presence of tetrabutylammonium fluoride was described. The reaction proceeds through a tandem double Michael addition under mild conditions. Employing the hypervalent silicate generated from trimethylsilyl cyanide and tetrabutylammonium fluoride was essential for achieving this transformation. Mechanistic studies suggest that a small amount of water included in the reaction media plays a key role. This protocol was applicable to various types of substrates including electron-rich and electron-deficient aromatic nitroalkenes and aliphatic nitroalkenes. Moreover, vinyl sulfones were found to be good alternatives, particularly for electron-deficient nitroalkenes. The broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance of the reaction makes this approach a practical method for the synthesis of valuable 1,2-dicyanoalkanes RCH(CN)CH(R1)CN.
