Ushijima, Sousuke published the artcileOne-pot conversion of aromatic bromides and aromatics into aromatic nitriles via aryllithiums and their DMF adduct, HPLC of Formula: 5653-62-3, the main research area is aryl halide butyl lithium DMF iodine reaction; aromatic nitrile preparation.

Various aromatic bromides and iodides were smoothly converted into the corresponding aromatic nitriles in good to moderate yields by the treatment with n-butyllithium and subsequently DMF, followed by treatment with mol. iodine in aq NH3. The same treatment of typical aromatics and heteroaromatics with n-butyllithium and subsequently DMF, followed by treatment with mol. iodine in aq NH3 also provided the corresponding aromatic nitriles in good yields. Moreover, the same treatment of aromatic bromides and aromatics with half amount of DIH (1,3-diiodo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin) instead of mol. iodine worked effectively to give the corresponding aromatic nitriles, resp., in good yields. These reactions are novel and environmentally benign one-pot methods for the preparation of aromatic nitriles from aromatic bromides and aromatics, resp., through the formation of aryllithiums and their DMF adducts.
