Worth its salt: The palladium‐catalyzed decarboxylativecoupling of the cyanoacetate salt as well as its mono‐ and disubstituted derivatives with aryl chlorides, bromides, and triflates is described (see scheme). This reaction is potentially useful for the preparation of a diverse array of α‐arylnitriles and has good functional group tolerance. S‐Phos=2‐(2,6‐dimethoxybiphenyl)dicyclohexylphosphine)

Transition-metal-free intermolecular N–H insertion of α-diazocarbonyl compounds is reported. Among the series of nitrogen sources examined, dibenzenesulfonimide was found to be the choice in terms of the yields and the reaction time. Primary mechanistic experiments suggest that a pathway involving a sequence of protonation and nucleophilic substitution was preferred.
