- 17 General Procedure of Cyanation Protocol of Arylboronic Acids with DDQ Under air, a reaction tube was charged with arylboronic acids (0.2 mmol), DDQ (45.2 mg, 0.2 mmol), Cu(OTf)2 (7.2 mg, 10 mol%), K2CO3 (41.4 mg, 0.3 mmol), Ag2CO3 (55 mg, 0.2 mmol), and dry DMF (2 mL). The mixture was stirred at 100 °C for 20 h. After the completion of the reaction, monitored by TLC, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel to give the product. 4-(Methylthio)benzonitrile (3ac) Yellowlish solid; mp 61–62 °C. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 7.53 (d, J = 8.7 Hz, 2 H), 7.26 (d, J = 8.7 Hz, 2 H), 2.51 (s, 3 H). 13C NMR (125 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 146.1, 132.2, 125.6, 119.0, 107.7, 14.7.
