Rosenmund-von Braun synthesis of aryl nitrile

Example 1, A variant, also known as the Rosenmund-von Braun synthesis of aryl nitriles ... 

The Rosenmund-von Braun synthesis of aryl nitriles (40) from aryl halides (38) also shares some commonality with the Castro-Stephens reaction. This transformation was discovered nearly a century ago, and was mentioned in the initial Castro-Stephens publication where the authors noted potential mechanistic similarity.
