Electrochemical strategies for <i>N</i>-cyanation of secondary amines and α <i>C</i>-cyanation of tertiary amines under transition metal-free conditions

Abstract

Electrochemical N -cyanation of secondary amines and α C -cyanation of tertiary amines have been established under transition metal-free conditions, which provide cyanamides and nitriles with good functional group tolerance from simple systems.
