Nitrile Synthesis via Desulfonylative-Smiles Rearrangement

Herein, we designed a simple nitrile synthesis from N-[(2-nitrophenyl)sulfonyl]benzamides via base-promoted intramolecular nucleophilic aromatic substitution. The process features redox-neutral conditions as well as no requirement of toxic cyanide species and transition metals. Our process shows broad scope and various functional group compatibility, affording a variety of (hetero)aromatic nitriles in good to excellent yields.

Cobalt-Catalyzed Formation of Functionalized Diarylmethanes from Benzylmesylates and Aryl Halides

A simple cobalt-catalyzed reductive coupling protocol allowing the synthesis of functionalized diarylmethanes from benzyl mesylate is described. The possibility to directly use the benzyl alcohol as a result of a two-step reaction is also presented. This method tolerates a variety of functional groups. A benzyl radical is likely involved.
