OXIDATIVE FUNCTIONALIZATION OF P-TOLUNITRILE UNDER MILD CONDITIONS

p-Tolunitrile (4-Methylbenzonitrile): A Versatile Building Block in Modern Organic Chemistry    Introduction In modern synthetic chemistry, certain small molecules act as quiet enablers of major scientific progress. p-Tolunitrile, or 4-methylbenzonitrile, is one such unsung hero. With its simple para-substituted benzene core and reacti
