- 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.

- Site-Selectivity in the Cyanation of 3-Substituted Pyridine 1-Oxides with Trimethylsilanecarbonitrile
-
The cyanation of 3-halo-, 3-methoxy-, and 3-dimethylaminopyridine 1-oxide with trimethylsilanecarbonitrile gave predominantly the corresponding 3-substituted 2-pyridinecarbonitriles.The deoxygenation of nitropyridine 1-oxides to nitropyridines with the same reagent is also described.Keywords - site-selective reaction; trimethylsilanecarbonitrile; pyridine 1-oxide; 2-pyridine-carbonitrile; nitropyridine 1-oxide; deoxygenation; aromatic amine N-oxide; cyanation

- REGIOSELECTIVE CYANATION OF 3-SUBSTITUTED PYRIDINE 1-OXIDES
-
Cyanation of 3-X-pyridine 1-oxides with trimethylsilanecarbonitrile and dimethylcarbamoyl chloride occurs quantitatively to give 3-X-pyridinecarbonitriles in > 90percent isolated yields when X = -CH3, -OCH3, -OH and -Cl, and approximately equal amounts of the 3- and 5-X derivatives when X = -CN and -COOCH3.

- Reactions of Halogenomethanes in the Vapour Phase. Part 5. The Reactions of Imidazolines, Anils, and 1-Methylimidazole with Chloroform at 550 deg C, and a Comparison with their Liquid-Phase Reactions with Trichloroacetate Ion or Hexachloroacetone and Base
-
The vapor-phase reactions of imidazolines and anils with chloroform at 550 deg C are compared with their liquid-phase reactions in the presence of hexachloroacetone and base or upon thermolysis with trichloroacetate ion.In the vapour-phase reactions imidazolines, unlike imidazoles, gave non-chlorinated pyrimidines, and 1-methyl-imidazole gave 2-cyanopyrrole and the four 3-chlorocyanopyridines.
