title = "Cobalt-Catalyzed Alkylation of Nitriles with Alcohols",
abstract = "Herein, we report an operationally convenient, cobalt-catalyzed alkylation of aryl nitriles employing primary and secondary alcohols (>30 examples, up to 86% yield). The use of readily available cobalt precursors and the widely employed BIAN (BIAN = bis(arylimino)acenaphthene) ligand affords an efficient catalytic reaction that is environmentally benign, leading to the formation of water as the only byproduct.",
