study shows that the anion of 2-naphthylacetonitrile is substituted selectively at its Cα by aromatic halides, through a radical nucleophilicsubstitution mechanism, to give the corresponding α,α-diaryl nitriles in good yields. The regioselectivity of this ambidentnucleophile changes with the steric hindrance at the radical centre from the aromatic substrate. The selectivity observed was investigated
