Abstract

Various benzylic halides were smoothly and directly converted into the corresponding aromatic nitriles in high yields using molecular iodine and 1, 3-diiodo-5, 5- dimethylhydantoin, respectively, in aq ammonia. Similarly, primary alkyl halides were also converted into corresponding nitriles in moderate to good yields using molecular iodine and 1, 3-diiodo-5, 5-dimethylhydantoin in aq ammonia, although a long reaction time was ...
