Copper-Mediated Direct Aryl C–H Cyanation with Azobisisobutyronitrile via a Free-Radical Pathway
摘要:
An unprecedented protocol for the copper-mediated direct cyanation of aryl C-H by employing 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrwile (AIBN) as a free radical "CN" source is presented. The protocol not only provides a more efficient pathway for the synthesis of aryl nitriles in terms of the yields and the loading amount of copper salts but also, more importantly, represents a novel strategy for aryl C-H cyanation via a CN free-radical mechanism as compared to the CN anion-participating protocols often reported.

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.
