44. It is unclear whether simultaneous activation of acrylonitrile and alcohol is operative because intramolecular conjugate addition of copper(I) alkoxide coordinated by acrylonitrile in an end-on fashion would be sterically unlikely. Coordination in an end-on fashion for nitrile functionality, see:, V. Y. Kukushkin, A. J. L. Pombeiro, Chem. Rev. 2002, 102, 1771. For further discussion, see Supporting Information.
