Direct oxidative cyanation based on the concept of site isolation
On the basis of the concept of site isolation, we have successfully demonstrated direct oxidative cyanation of various organic compounds, which even have higher oxidation potentials compared to that of cyanide, by using a polystyrene-supported quaternary ammonium cyanide.
