Description and Uses

Using benzoyl cyanide as an electrophile also gives selective acylation of the 3-position, as does levulinic acid in the presence of DCC.
Benzoyl cyanide is used to study the mechanism of reduction of benzoyl cyanide in acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide and acetonitrile. It undergoes hydrolysis by Rhodococcus sp. CCZU10-1 to form benzoylformic acid. Reagent for selective acylation of amino compounds.
