A facie and efficient method for one-pot transformation of aryl aldehydes to aryl nitriles using hydroxylamine hydrochloride and phosphorus tribromide in PEG-DME 250 is reported. The conversion of various aryl aldehydes to the corresponding aryl nitriles occurred smoothly in high yields under the present reaction conditions.
<p>A nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling of redox-active <i>N</i>-hydroxyphthalimide (NHP) esters and iodoarenes for the synthesis of α-aryl nitriles is described. The NHP ester substrate is derived from cyanoacetic acid, which allows for a modular synthesis of substituted α-aryl nitriles, an important scaffold in pharmaceutical sciences. Mechanistic studies reveal that decarboxylation of the NHP ester to the reactive radical intermediate is accomplished by a combination of a chlorosilane additive and Zn dust. The reaction exhibits a broad scope as many functional groups are compatible under the reaction conditions, including complex highly functionalized medicinal agents.</p>
