A novel and efficient method for the synthesis of multisubstituted arylnitriles via Tf2O-mediated [3 + 2 1] benzannulation enaminones acylacetonitriles has been developed. This reaction proceeds under mild conditions with excellent functional group compatibility. Mechanistic studies have revealed that cyclization involves two consecutive nucleophilic additions, followed by a cascade Knoevenagel condensation aromatization. Additionally, trifluoromethanesulfonate 6 identified as crucial intermediate in this process.
