Benzoylacetonitrile were prepared through sequential carbonylation and decarboxylation. The palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of aryl iodides and methyl cyanoacetate using Mo(CO)6 as a carbon monoxide source afforded beta-keto cyanoesters, and then the subsequent reaction with Li/H2O produced the desired benzoylacetonitriles.
