Nickel-Catalyzed Reversible Functional Group Metathesis between Aryl Nitriles and Aryl Thioethers

We describe a new functional group metathesis between aryl nitriles and aryl thioethers. The catalytic system nickel/dcype is essential to achieve this fully reversible transformation in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, the cyanide- and thiol-free reaction shows high functional group tolerance and great efficiency for the late-stage derivatization of commercial molecules. Finally, synthetic applications demonstrate its versatility and utility in multistep synthesis.

PREPARATION AND CYCLIZATION OF ARYLOXYACETALDEHYDE ACETALS; A GENERAL SYNTHESIS OF 2,3-UNSUBSTITUTED BENZOFURANS

A improved method for the preparation of 2,3-unsubstituted benzofurans is described.Specifically, the PPA catalysed cyclization of aryloxyacetaldehyde acetals to give (4-7)-substituted benzofurans has been achieved.
