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.

The site-selectivity in the modified Reissert-Henze reaction of 5-substituted and 4,5-disubstituted pyrimidine 1-oxides with trimethylsilyl cyanide was examined.The reaction of 5-substituted 4-methoxypyrimidine 1-oxides with trimethylsilyl cyanide gave exclusively 2-pyrimidinecarbonitriles in good yields without exception.On the other hand, the other 5-substituted and 4,5-disubstituted pyrimidine 1-oxides gave mainly 6-pyrimidinecarbonitriles.Keywords--site-selectivity; pyrimidine N-oxide; trimethylsilyl cyanide; Reissert-Henze reasction; pyrimidinecarbonitrile
