Transformation of aromatic bromides into aromatic nitriles with n-BuLi, pivalonitrile, and iodine under metal cyanide-free conditions

Various aromatic nitriles could be obtained in good yields by the treatment of aryl bromides with n-butyllithium and then pivalonitrile, followed by the treatment with molecular iodine at 70 °C, without metal cyanides under transition-metal-free conditions. The present reaction proceeds through the radical β-elimination of imino-nitrogen-centered radicals formed from the reactions of imines and N-iodoimines under warming conditions.
