were effectively synthesized using either a nucleophilic aromatic substitution (NAS) or a palladium-mediated coupling pathway. Synthesis of di-aryl acetonitriles most conveniently proceeded via NAS – palladium-mediated coupling was not required. This reaction, however, results in a product that is more acidic than the reactants. Facile deprotonation of the product prevents efficient formation of the
