A highly efficient and environmentally benign protocol is described for the microwave-assisted one-pot synthesis of aromatic nitriles from aromatic aldehydes by the reaction with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in DMSO, which involves the intermediate formation of aldoximes and subsequent dehydration. The developed synthetic methodology can be readily accomplished with various aldehydes containing both electron-donor and electron-acceptor groups, providing excellent yields of the target products in shorter reaction times (1–2 min) compared to previously reported methodologies.

A straightforward method for the electrochemical C-H cyanation of arenes and heteroarenes that proceeds at room temperature in MeOH, with NaCN as the reagent in a simple, open, undivided electrochemical cell is reported. The platinum electrodes are passivated by ad-sorbed cyanide, which allows conversion of an exceptionally broad range of electron-rich substrates all the way down to dialkyl arenes. The cyanide electrolyte can be replenished with HCN, opening opportunities for salt-free industrial C-H cyanation.

Electron-rich arenes bearing methyl or methoxy groups on the aromatic ring were treated with dichloromethyl methyl ether and ZnBr2, and then with molecular iodine and aq. ammonia to give the corresponding aromatic nitriles in good yields. Using this method, febuxostat was efficiently prepared from 4-bromophenol in four steps. The method can be used for the preparation of aromatic nitriles from arenes in one pot under metal-cyanide-free conditions. Various electron-rich arenes could be effectively converted into the corresponding aromatic nitriles in good yields, by treatment with ZnBr2 and dichloromethyl methyl ether, followed by reaction with molecular iodine and aq. ammonia.
