title: Palladium-Catalyzed Sequential Acylation/Cyanation of Aryl Iodides: A Regiospecific Synthesis of 2-Cyanoaryl Ketones.
abstract: A palladium-catalyzed, norbornene-mediated acylation/cyanation reaction of iodobenzene was developed by the use of acyl chlorides as acylation reagents and cuprous cyanide. The reaction gave the 2-cyanoaryl ketones efficiently by using readily available starting materials.
