Abstract
Aryltriazenes react with zinc perchlorate/zinc cyanide to produces arylnitr iles and react with zinc iodide to produce aryliodides. The reaction mechan ism involves aryl radicals that have been trapped by addition to propenenit riles in a good preparative Meerwein arylation process. (C) 2001 Elsevier S cience Ltd.
