The use of Pd(DPEPhos)Cl2 (P26) as a catalyst for the formation of benzonitriles and their heterocyclic analogues provides excellent complementarity to existing catalysts, allowing highly electron-deficient heterocyclic aryl halides to be effic

A new and general nickel-catalyzed cyanation of hetero(aryl) chlorides using less toxic Zn(CN)2 as the cyanide source has been developed. The reaction relies on the use of inexpensive NiCl2·6H2O/dppf/Zn as the catalytic system and DMAP as the additive, allowing the cyanation to occur under mild reaction conditions (50-80 °C) with wide functional group tolerance. DMAP was found to be crucial for successful transformation, and the reaction likely proceeds via a Ni(0)/Ni(II) catalysis based on mechanistic studies. The method was also successfully extended to aryl bromides and aryl iodides.

The cyanation of arylboronic acids by using acetonitrile as the "CN" source has been achieved under a Cu(cat.)/TEMPO system (TEMPO=2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine N-oxide). The broad substrate scope includes a variety of electron-rich and electron-poor arylboronic acids, which react well to give the cyanated products in high to excellent yields. Mechanistic studies reveal that TEMPO-CH2CN, generated in situ, is an active cyanating reagent, and shows high reactivity for the formation of the CN- moiety. Moreover, TEMPO acts as a cheap oxidant to enable the reaction to be catalytic in copper.
