Abstract

The cyanation of chlorobenzene catalyzed by Ni (PPh 3) n, which was generated in situ from NiBr 2 (PPh 3) 2–Zn–PPh 3 (Ni: Zn: P= 1: 3: 2 molar ratio), was at first examined with various MCN (M= K, Na)–solvent systems by three procedures in order to clarify the conditions under which the reaction occurs. The effects of the systems and the procedures on the reaction were remarkable. It was observed that the cyanide ion has an inhibitory action on ...
