Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Organic Physical Sciences Science & Technology
Metalated nitriles and enolates rapidly and efficiently abstract chlorine from 2-chloro-2-fluoro-2-phenylacetonitrile to afford a diverse range of chloronitriles and chloroesters. The method provides the first general anionic chlorination of alkylnitriles, tolerates numerous functional groups, and addresses the challenge of synthesizing alpha-chloronitriles under mild conditions.
