Conversions of aryl carboxylic acids into aryl nitriles using multiple types of Cu-mediated decarboxylative cyanation under aerobic conditions

Here, we used malononitrile or AMBN as a cyanating agent to develop efficient and practical protocols for Cu-mediated decarboxylative cyanations, under aerobic conditions, of aryl carboxylic acids bearing nitro and methoxyl substituents at the ortho position as well as of heteroaromatic carboxylic acids. These protocols involved economical methods to synthesize value-added aryl nitriles from simple and inexpensive raw materials. Further diversification of the 2-nitrobenzonitrile product was performed to highlight the practicality of the protocols. This journal is

Decarboxylative Halogenation and Cyanation of Electron-Deficient Aryl Carboxylic Acids via Cu Mediator as Well as Electron-Rich Ones through Pd Catalyst under Aerobic Conditions

Simple strategies for decarboxylative functionalizations of electron-deficient benzoic acids via using Cu(I) as promoter and electron-rich ones by employing Pd(II) as catalyst under aerobic conditions have been established, which lead to smooth synthesis of aryl halides (-I, Br, and Cl) through the decarboxylative functionalization of benzoic acids with readily available halogen sources CuX (X = I, Br, Cl), and easy preparation of benzonitriles from decarboxylative cyanation of aryl carboxylic acids with nontoxic and low-cost K4Fe(CN)6 under an oxygen atmosphere for the first time.

3H-azepines and related systems. Part 5. Photo-induced ring expansions of o-azidobenzonitriles to 3-cyano- and 7-cyano-3H-azepin-2(1H)-ones

Unlike other aryl azides bearing electron-withdrawing ortho-substituents, o-azidobenzonitriles on photolysis in aqueous-tetrahydrofuran yield mixtures of the expected 3-cyano- and the unexpected 7-cyano-3H-azepin-2(1H)-ones. In one instance ring contraction to a 2-azabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-6-ene-3-one is noted. X-ray crystallographic data for 7-cyano- and 4-chloro-7-cyano-3H-azepin-2-one, and for the azabicycloheptenone, are presented.
