Cut and paste! A Cu‐catalyzed aromaticCHcyanation with acetonitrile as the nitrile source by CCNcleavage has been developed (see scheme; TMEDA=N,N,N′,N′‐tetramethylethylenediamine). The reaction is catalytic in copper, and it is found that using (Me3Si)2 as an additive plays a critical role in promoting CCNcleavage and enhancing the reaction rate.

Carboxylate assistance proved to be the key for the success of efficient cobalt(III)‐catalyzedCH cyanations. Thus, an in situ generated cationic cobalt complex was identified as a versatile catalyst for the site‐selective synthesis of various aromatic and heteroaromatic nitriles with ample substrate scope.

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 selectivity to afford monocyanated products with excellent functional group tolerance. Substrate scope was found to be broad enough to include a wide range of heterocycles including 6-arylpurines.

A rhodium-catalyzed aromatic C–H bond direct cyanation with safe, bench-stable, and commercially available dimethylmalononitrile as the cyanating agent has been successfully developed by using copper oxide as a promotor. Pyridine, quinoline, pyrimidine and pyrazole were used as the directing group in this type of C–H bond direct cyanation reaction.
