- C?H Cyanation of 6-Ring N-Containing Heteroaromatics
-
Heteroaromatic nitriles are important compounds in drug discovery, both for their prevalence in the clinic and due to the diverse range of transformations they can undergo. As such, efficient and reliable methods to access them have the potential for far-reaching impact across synthetic chemistry and the biomedical sciences. Herein, we report an approach to heteroaromatic C?H cyanation through triflic anhydride activation, nucleophilic addition of cyanide, followed by elimination of trifluoromethanesulfinate to regenerate the cyanated heteroaromatic ring. This one-pot protocol is simple to perform, is applicable to a broad range of decorated 6-ring N-containing heterocycles, and has been shown to be suitable for late-stage functionalization of complex drug-like architectures.

- Regioselective direct oxidative C-H cyanation of quinoline and its derivatives catalyzed by vanadium-containing heteropoly acids
-
A direct oxidative C-H cyanation of quinoline and its derivatives using trimethylsilyl cyanide as the cyano source and molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant has been developed. In the presence of catalytic amounts of vanadium-containing heteropoly acids, e.g., H7PV4Mo8O40, cyanation of various quinoline and its derivatives preferentially took place at the 4-position, affording the corresponding substituted 4-cyanoquinolines as the major products.
