Cyanation of Dihydropyrrolo[2,1‐ a ]isoquinoline With Phenylacetonitrile

An efficient cyanation reaction for the direct cyanation of dihydropyrrolo[2,1‐ a ]isoquinoline with phenylacetonitrile has been described. This reaction is performed in DMF using CuI as the promoter. Various substrates are well compatible, affording the corresponding products in moderate‐to‐good yields. This work provides an operationally simple approach to the construction of Lamellarin scaffolds.
