Abstract

A direct cyanation of benzyl ethers and 1,3-diarylpropenes with TMSCN was performed under solvent- and metal-free conditions. This oxidative cross dehydrative coupling (CDC) reaction was promoted by 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) and provided rapid access to a broad range of nitriles in good to excellent yields.
