โฆ Synopsis
We examined the palladium-catalyzed cyanation of hindered, electron-rich aryl triflates by zinc cyanide using 2-methoxyphenyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (4) as a model compound. The reaction with two equivalents of Zn(CN) 2 and catalytic Pd(PPh3) 4 in DMF at 120ยฐC for 2 hr affonJed 2-methoxybenzonitrile ($) in 81% yield. The synthesis of 3-cyano-3-desoxynaltrexone (3), which had not previouly been obtained by the reaction with potassium or sodium cyanide as a cyanide source, was achieved by applying this ~ to its ~nding triflate 2.
