Background A novel one-pot N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalysed acylation of 2- bromoacetonitrile with aromatic aldehydes is reported. The protocol involves carbonyl umpolung reactivity of aldehydes in which the carbonyl carbon attacks nucleophilically (as d1 nucleophile) on electrophilic terminal of 2-bromoacetonitrile to afford 3-aryl-3-oxopropanenitrile. The salient features of this procedure are short reaction time, operational simplicity, ambient temperature, no by-product formation and high yields. Methods A flame-dried round
