A facile synthesis of benzonitriles via a base‐promoted tandem cyclization reaction of α,β‐unsaturated enones having electron‐withdrawing group (EWG) and 2‐acyl‐acrylonitriles was developed. This new synthetic method to access benzonitriles is suitable for a wide range of substrates. A plausible reaction mechanism is proposed on the basis of previous literature and our own investigations.

碱促进的串联环化，通过CC键构建苯甲腈的合成

通过碱促进的具有吸电子基团（EWG）的α，β-不饱和烯酮和2酰基丙烯腈的串联促进环化反应，可以轻松合成苯甲腈。这种获取苯甲腈的新合成方法适用于多种底物。在先前的文献和我们自己的研究的基础上，提出了一种合理的反应机理。
