A concise noncatalytic synthetic approach to 2- and 3-substituted 4,4'-dicyanobiphenyls by applying terephthalonitrile dianion 1(2-) as para-cyanophenylating reagent for neutral benzonitriles is described. Neutral participants are varied to reveal the scope of applicable substrates and to evaluate the electronic and structural factors governing the regioselectivity and efficiency of the cross-coupling. Benzonitriles substituted with Me, OMe and F provide the corresponding dicyanobiphenyls in good yields. The regularities in the reactivities are interpreted in terms of a reaction scheme involving the intermediacy of a charge-transfer complex between 1(2) and benzonitrile, which transforms into a dimeric dianion either through a heterolytic pathway and/or by successive single electron transfer and recombination of the primary generated radical anions. Quantum chemical calculations of the structure and energy of the principal reaction intermediates match the experimental data. CV measurements of the new dicyanobiphenyls are also included.
