Abstract

Three in one blow! A novel direct transformation of alkynes into nitriles by a silver-catalyzed nitrogenation reaction through C≡C bond cleavage has been developed. This research provides both a new application for alkynes in organic synthesis, and valuable mechanistic insights into nitrogenation chemistry.
