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.
Cu(OAc)2-catalyzed regioselective oxidativeC-Hcyanation of two different types of aromatics was described, providing facile access to functionalized heterocycles in good yields. Control experiments suggest the copper chelation-assisted oxidativeC-H activation mechanism.

The copper-catalyzedcyanation of arenes using benzyl nitrile as a cyanide anion surrogate furnishes aromatic nitriles in moderate to good yields. The cascade process involves a copper-catalyzed aerobic C-Hoxidation, a retro-cyanohydrination, and a copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidativeC-H functionalization.
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.
A palladium(II)/magnesium–lanthanummixedoxide (Pd(II)/Mg–La) catalyst is a reusable catalyst for cyanation of aromatic C–H bonds by using the combination of NH4HCO3 and DMSO as the ‘‘CN’’ source. Moderate to good yields of aromatic nitriles were obtained. An excellent regioselectivity was achieved using the present protocol.

A chelation-assistedpalladium-catalyzed ortho-cyanation of the sp2 C−H bond by CuCN provided aromatic nitriles in moderate to good yields. Notably, the reaction could be conducted on a 10 mmol scale. The key intermediate of the natural product of Menispermum dauricum DC was concisely synthesized by the procedure. This new approach represents an exceedingly practical method for the synthesis of aromatic
