has been developed to access functionalized aryl nitriles. The ligand dcype (1,2-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane) in combination with the base KOAc (potassium acetate) is essential for achieving this transformation efficiently. This reaction involves both a C–Sbond activation and a C–Cbondformation. The scalability, low catalyst and reagents loadings, and high functional group tolerance have enabled
