Expedient Acylations of Primary and Secondary Alkyl Cyanides to α-Substituted β-Ketonitriles
摘要:
Primary and secondary cyanides are efficiently acylated with N-acylbenzotriazoles 3a-f (derived from a variety of acids) to afford the corresponding alpha-substituted beta-ketonitriles 5a-r in 67-96% yields.
