Abstract
A variety of α-iminonitriles were formed as the minor products of three-component coupling reactions of arynes, isocyanides, and cyanoformates in the presence of the cationic palladium complex [Pd(NCPh)2(dppf)] (BF4)2 as the catalyst, along with cyano-substituted iminoisobenzofurans as the major products. α-Iminonitriles obtained from this process are hardly accessible by conventional methods. In addition, when the isolated iminoisobenzofurans were treated with diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL-H) or AlMe3, the transformation of cyano-substituted iminoisobenzofurans into α-iminonitriles was observed.
