Abstract
We hereby report the ortho-cyanomethylation of aryl fluoroalkyl sulfoxides with acetonitrile through a sulfonium-Claisen-type rearrangement. This reaction enables the incorporation of two valuable functional groups, such as the cyanomethyl group and the fluoroalkylthio group, into arenes. Remarkably, fluoroalkylthio groups, such as SCFH2 and SCF2H, bearing active hydrogen, are well tolerated by the reaction. The success of the reaction relies on the use of an excess amount of acetonitrile and the electronegative effect of fluoroalkyl substituents, both of which promote the electrophilic assembly of sulfoxides with acetonitrile. Consequently, the sulfonium-Claisen rearrangement reaction tolerates a wide variety of fluoroalkyl sulfoxides bearing functional groups including halides, nitriles, ketones, sulfones, and amides, which are appealing for subsequent elaboration and exploration.

Abstract
A cyanomethylation/cyclization of aryl acetylenes/ethylenes with bromoacetonitrile was finished in a photopromoted condition, which offers an efficient and mild protocol for the preparation of cyanomethylated 7- or 5-membered N-heterocycles with good yields. Meanwhile, trichloroacetonitrile was also compatible with this radical pathway. In addition, a variety of single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements, scaled-up operations to 1 mmol, functional group transformations of final products, light on/off experiments, and even radial inhibition studies were smoothly performed in this tandem system.

Abstract
Rh/silane-cocatalyzed regio- and enantioselctive allylic cyanomethylation with inert acetonitrile directly has been developed. Addition of a catalytic amount neutral silane reagent as an acetonitrile anion carrier is essential for the success of this reaction. The synthesis of mono- and bis-allylation products can be switched by adjusting the size of substituents on the silane, ligands, and temperature. Chiral homoallylic nitriles could be synthesized in above 20:1 branch/linear ratio, up to 98% yield and >99% ee.
