The CuX (X = I, Br, Cl, CN)-mediated cyclization-halogenation and cyclization-cyanation reactions of β-hydroxyalkynes and o-alkynylphenol and -aniline derivatives give rise to 3-halo- and 3-cyanofuro[3,2-b]pyrroles, 3-iodo-, 3-bromo-, and 3-cyanobenzofurans, and 3-cyanoindoles, respectively. © 2010 American Chemical Society.

Low-temperature rate coefficients are measured for the CN + benzene and CN + toluene reactions using the pulsed Laval nozzle expansion technique coupled with laser-induced fluorescence detection. The CN + benzene reaction rate coefficient at 105, 165, and 295 K is found to be relatively constant over this temperature range, (3.9−4.9) × 10−10 cm3 molecule−1 s−1. These rapid kinetics, along with the observed negligible temperature dependence, are consistent with a barrierless reaction entrance channel and reaction efficiencies approaching unity. The CN + toluene reaction is measured to have a rate coefficient of 1.3 × 10−10 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 at 105 …
