Abstract

Abstract The cyanation of aryl iodides with NaCN under heptane-water two-phase conditions is efficiently catalyzed by PdCl2{PPh2(m-C6H4SO3Na)}2 in the presence of zinc chloride and NaBH4, and gave the corresponding aryl nitriles in high yields. The biphasic cyanation had an advantage in that the aryl nitriles are easily separated from the mixtures of catalyst and reagents.
