Abstract
A nickel-based catalytic system consisting of a unique diphosphine ligand such as dcype or dcypt enables the cyanation of versatile phenol derivatives such as aryl carbamates and aryl pivalates with aminoacetonitriles as metal-free cyanating agents This method is environmentally benign and easy-to-use.
