Abstract

Nitrile and acrylonitrile scaffolds constitute a key component of numerous compounds, including dyes, natural products, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals.[1] The cyano group may also be transformed into a variety of functional groups consisting of amines, aldehydes, amidines, and amides. Accordingly, considerable effort has been invested in their syntheses. The cyano group is generally constructed from sources containing whole ...
