%X Reaction of hydrogen cyanide with a wide range of aliphatic dienes in the presence of nickel(0) catalysts leads to rearrangement of the diene and formation of &#946;,&#947; -unsaturated nitriles in moderate to very high yields. The mechanism of reaction is discussed in terms of &#960;-allyl-nickel intermediates.
