Aryl nitriles are widely found in natural products, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, and
herbicides. Moreover, because the cyano group can be easily converted into various …

Aromatic nitriles are prepared efficiently through transition‐metal‐mediated cyanation of aryl
(pseudo) halides with metallic cyano‐group sources, such as CuCN, KCN, NaCN, Zn (CN) …

This minireview aims to cover the developments over the past two decades in the chemistry
of sulfonium salts. Specifically, insight is provided into the synthetic strategies available for …

The cyano group is well known as a versatile intermediate for transformations into a
multitude of useful functional groups such as carboxyl, carbamoyl, aminomethyl, carbonyl …

A cobalt-catalyzed C–H cyanation reaction of arenes has been developed using N-
cyanosuccinimide as a new electrophilic cyanating agent. The reaction proceeds with high …

Over the past decade, the effectiveness of i-PrMgCl· LiCl has been constantly highlighted by
a number of research groups. Its enhanced nucleophilicity brings prosperity to highly …
