title: Palladium-catalyzed cyanation of aryl halides with CuSCN.
abstract: A palladium-catalyzed cyanation of aryl halides and borons has been developed by employing cuprous thiocyanate as a safe cyanide source. This protocol avoids the use of a highly toxic cyanide source, providing aromatic nitriles in moderate to good yields with good functional tolerance.
