Resumen:
The present study shows that the anion of 2-naphthylacetonitrile is substituted selectively at its Ca by aromatic halides, through a radical nucleophilic substitution mechanism, to give the corresponding a,a-diaryl nitriles in good yields. The regioselectivity of this ambident nucleophile changes with the steric hindrance at the radical centre from the aromatic substrate. The selectivity observed was investigated through a computational model of the key reaction step. DOI: 10.1039/C1NJ20699K
