An Improved Procedure for the Cyanation of Aryl Triflates: A Convenient Synthesis of 6-Cyano-1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroisoquinoline

Abstract
A short synthesis of 6-cyano-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline is presented. The key step is an improved method of aryl triflate cyanation employing zinc(II)cyanide as the cyanide source.
