Electrophilic C(sp²)–H Cyanation with Inorganic Cyanate (OCN⁻) by Pᴵᴵᴵ/Pⱽ=O-Catalyzed Phase Transfer Activation
A catalytic method for the direct electrophilic cyanation of C(sp²)–H nucleophiles with sodium cyanate (NaOCN) is reported. Mechanistic experiments show that under solid-liquid phase transfer, an inorganic cyanate is activated by halide displacement on a halophosphonium. Redox catalysis is enabled b...
