Zheng, Shuyan; Yu, Chunhui; Shen, Zhengwu published an article in Organic Letters. The title of the article was 《Ethyl Cyanoacetate: A New Cyanating Agent for the Palladium-Catalyzed Cyanation of Aryl Halides》.Product Details of 890092-52-1 The author mentioned the following in the article:
A new Pd-catalyzed cyanation reaction has been discovered using Et cyanoacetate as the cyanating reagent. A variety of electron-rich and electron-deficient aryl halides were efficiently converted into their corresponding nitriles in good to excellent yields. In the part of experimental materials, we found many familiar compounds, such as 5-Bromo-4-methylnicotinonitrile(cas: 890092-52-1Product Details of 890092-52-1)
5-Bromo-4-methylnicotinonitrile(cas: 890092-52-1) belongs to pyridine. Pyridine, its benzo and pyridine-based compounds play diverse roles in organic chemistry. As ligands, solvents, and catalysts they facilitate reactions; thus descriptions of these new ligands and their applications abound each year.Product Details of 890092-52-1
