Abstract

Abstract The yield and the rate of formation of nitriles X-CH= CH-CN and 3-and 4-substituted nitriles XC 6 H 5 CN (X= CH 3; OR; SR; COOCH 3) were investigated in the reaction of vinyl and aryl bromides with CN (-), under catalysis with Pd 0 and macrocyclic polyethers, and in the reaction with CuCN in dipolar aprotic solvents. Individual procedures were compared from the point of view of the possibility of a preparative utilization.
