A Homogeneous Method for the Conveniently Scalable Palladium- and Nickel-Catalyzed Cyanation of Aryl Halides

Homogeneous conditions for the palladium-catalyzed cyanation of aryl halides were developed. This new system features a broad scope of aryl chlorides and bromides, uses 2-propanol or 1-butanol as solvent, and is readily scalable. The same conditions can also provide simple benzonitriles using the recently developed (TMEDA)­NiCl­(<i>o</i>-tolyl) precatalyst in conjunction with 1,1′-bis­(diphenylphosphino)­ferrocene (dppf) as a ligand

Exploration of Biaryl Carboxylic Acids as Proton Shuttles for the Selective Functionalization of Indole C–H Bonds

A survey of diversely substituted 2-arylbenzoic acids were synthesized and tested for use as proton shuttle in the direct arylation of indoles with bromobenzenes. It was found that 3-ethoxy-2-phenylbenzoic acid gives superior yield and selectivity for this class of substrates
