Rh(III)-catalyzed direct C-H cyanation of N-methoxybenzamides using N-cyano-N-phenyl-p-toluenesulfonamide

doi:10.1016/S1872-2067(15)60872-5

Abstract

Abstract:

A new method has been developed for the mild and efficient Rh(III)-catalyzed direct C-H cyanation of a diverse range of N-methoxybenzamides using N-cyano-N-phenyl-p-toluenesulfonamide as an environmentally friendly and efficient cyanating reagent. This new reaction proceeded with good regioselectivity to provide direct access to a wide variety of valuable ortho-cyanated N- methoxybenzamides with board substrate/functional group tolerance.

Key words: Rhoduim(III) catalyst, C-H cyanation, N-methoxybenzamides, N-cyano-N-phenyl-p-toluenesulfonamide, Reaction mechanism
