Abstract

Cyanation of aryl bromides and K4[Fe(CN)6] were carried out in the presence of catalytic amounts of {[(PhCH2O)2P(CH3)2CHNCH(CH3)2]2PdCl2} (PdCl2L2) in DMF and a variety of Aromatic nitriles were obtained in good yields under aerobic conditions.

Keywords: Aromatic nitriles, cyanation, palladium(II) complex, synthesis
