Abstract

Directing group strategy in transition metal catalyzed sp<sup>2</sup> C–H bond cyanation has contributed to the direct conversion of hydrocarbons to cyano-containing compounds. Recent developments in transition metal-mediated sp<sup>2</sup> C–H bond cyanation using this strategy are reviewed.
