Abstract

Various approaches to [2-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]acetonitrile were investigated. Two of these methods were selected and applied to a variety of electron-deficient substrates, thereby expanding the scopes of the procedures.

Key words

nitriles - nucleophilic aromatic substitutions - decarboxylations - Wittig reactions - reductions
