A new and effective method was developed for the synthesis of aromatic nitriles from arylacetic acids by using NaNO 2as the nitrogen source and Fe(OTf) 3as the promoter at 50 °C. A series of arylacetic acids underwent this transformation to give the targeted products in yields of 51-90%. Because of the mild conditions, the reaction is compatible with a broad range of functional groups, including ester, carboxy, hydroxy, acetamido, halo, nitro, cyano, methoxy, and even highly reactive formyl groups.
