Abstract

Abstract Cyanogenation of iodobenzene with potassium cyanide has been found to proceed smoothly in tetrahydrofuran in the presence of a catalytic amount of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(O). The reaction involves an intermediate, iodo(phenyl)bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II), which acts as a retracing species in the catalytic reaction path.
