Abstract

Many methods have been developed to introduce cyano groups into molecules. The traditional approaches for the preparation of aryl nitriles(1, 3)involve the Rosenmund–von Braun reaction from the corresponding halides or the Sandmeyer reaction from aniline. In an industrial setting, the ammoxidation reaction is typically used.(4) Recently, a useful alternative for the preparation of aryl nitriles was developed using transition-metal-catalyzed cyanation of aryl-X ...
