A Cyanide‐Free Synthesis of Acylcyanides through Ru‐Catalyzed C(sp3)‐H‐Oxidation of Benzylic Nitriles
Abstract A practical method for generation of acylcyanides devoid of any external cyanide sources is presented that relies on a mild Ru‐catalyzed selective C−H‐oxidation of benzylic nitriles. The starting materials are smoothly generated through condensation of the corresponding carboxylic acid amid...
