The cyano group is well known as a versatile intermediate for transformations into a multitude of useful functional groups such as carboxyl, carbamoyl, aminomethyl, carbonyl, and heterocycles. Moreover, benzonitriles and α-aminonitriles are practical synthetic and natural scaffolds. This paper revie...
