Unsaturated nitriles undergo nucleophilic attack at the cyano group by both Grignard reagents[76] and organolithiums,[77] leading, upon hydrolytic workup, to the corresponding enones. The conversion of nitrile 84 into cis-α-irone (85, Scheme 20) is particularly noteworthy since complications may also have arisen from competing deprotonation at the doubly activated γ-position.
