Abstract

A practical method for palladium-catalyzed cyanation of aryl halides using Pd/C can be applied to various aryl bromide and active aryl chloride substrates to effect efficient conversions. The process features many advantages over existing cyanation conditions and the practical utility of the process has been demonstrated on scale.
