Abstract
AbstractAn unprecedented conjugate addition/C−O ester migration of α‐cyano arylacetates with a quinone monoamine was presented, which allowed for the synthesis of various 2,2‐diarylacetonitriles in moderate to quantitative yields. This method is applicable to a series of α‐cyano arylacetates with different aryl groups. Moreover, in order to demonstrate the synthetic utility of this transformation, 2‐(cyano(phenyl))‐4‐(4‐methylphenylsulfonamido)ethyl carbonate was subjected in hydrogenation to generate a 2,2‐diarylethylcarbamate.
