The insertion of a nitrile (-CN) group into arenes through the direct functionalization of the C(sp2)-Br bond is a challenging reaction. Herein, we report an organophotoredox method for the cyanation of aryl bromides using the organic photoredox catalyst 4CzIPN (1,2,3,5-tetrakis(carbazol-9-yl)-4,6-dicyanobenzene) and tosyl cyanide (TsCN) as the nitrile source. A photogenerated silyl radical, via a single electron transfer (SET) mechanism, was employed to abstract bromine from aryl bromide to provide an aryl radical, which was concomitantly intercepted by TsCN to afford the aromatic nitrile. A range of substrates containing electron-donating and -withdrawing groups was demonstrated to undergo cyanation at room temperature in good yields. Thus, e.g., Me 4-bromobenzoate â?Me 4-cyanobenzoate (71%) employing 4CzIPN, TsCN, (TMS)3SiOH as silyl radical source, K3PO4 as base, acetone as solvent and irradiation from blue LED.
