    Abstract

    A straightforward and solvent-free synthesis of various secondary and tertiary cyanoformamides from carbamoyl imidazoles and TMSCN has been developed. Both cyclic and acyclic carbamoyl imidazoles react smoothly to form the relevant cyanoformamides in excellent yields, often within minutes.
