title: Copper-catalyzed intermolecular azidocyanation of aryl alkenes.
abstract: A copper-catalyzed Markovnikov-type intermolecular azidocyanation of aryl alkenes has been developed to give a series of α-azido-propanenitriles in moderate to good yields. This method may provide a potential strategy for the synthesis of corresponding 3-amino-2-arylpropanoic acid.
