Abstract
A mild and efficient, palladium-catalyzed reaction allows the cyanation of a wide range of (hetero)aryl halides and triflates at low catalyst loadings with mild temperatures ranging from rt to 40 °C. This mild method was applied to the synthesis of lersivirine, a reverse transcriptase inhibitor.
