title: NBS mediated nitriles synthesis through C=C double bond cleavage.
abstract: An NBS mediated nitriles synthesis through C=C double bond cleavage has been developed. TMSN3 was employed as the nitrogen source for this Cu(OAc)2 promoted nitrogenation reaction. This transformation has a relatively high regio-selectivity to form aromatic nitriles.
