1,1-Disubstituted aryl cyclopropyl nitriles are useful moieties in biologically active compounds and provide access to a range of cyclopropyl derivatives. Herein, we describe the development of a palladium-catalyzed α-arylation of cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, and cyclopentyl nitriles that affords these functional groups in one step from a variety of aryl bromides in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, we demonstrate the transformation of aryl cyclopropyl nitriles into aryl trifluoromethyl cyclopropanes.
