Abstract
An efficient formal alkenyl C-H cyanation reaction has been developed for the general synthesis of unsymmetrical diarylfumaronitriles in good to excellent yields. The reaction was achieved through tandem Michael addition and an oxidative process. The merits of this transformation include the use of K3Fe(CN)6 as a safe and nontoxic cyanide source, without an external noble metal catalyst, oxygen-involved reactions, easily available raw materials, good functional group tolerance, high stereoselectivity, and potential further application of the products.
