Application of Hantzsch Ester and Meyer Nitrile in Radical Alkynylation Reactions
The first example of constructing a Csp3-Csp bond with substituted Hantzsch ester and Meyer nitrile is reported. When benziodoxole-activated alkyne was applied as the alkynyl donor, products containing Csp3-Csp bonds involving primary, secondary, and tertiary carbon centers were achieved in up to 97% yields. K2S2O8 was the optimum radical initiator in this reaction.

A direct anionic cyclization of 2-alkynylbenzonitrile to 3- substituted-1(2H)-isoquinolones and 3-benzylideneisoindol-2ones initiated by methoxide addition
Treatment of 2-(2-alkylethynyl)benzonitrile with sodium methoxide in refluxing methanol for 12 h gave 3-alkyl-1(2H)- isoquinolone in modest yield. Under the same reaction conditions, methanolysis of 2-(2-arylethynyl)benzonitrile lead to the formation of 3
