Abstract
Cu(I)-mediated reactions of zirconacyclopentadienes with fumaronitrile afforded the corresponding dicyanocyclohexadiene and benzonitrile derivatives in good yields. These products were selectively prepared by controlling the reaction temperature. Furthermore, the reaction was applicable for monocyano-substituted pentacene derivatives.
