%X The arylation of soft carbon nucleophiles by aryllead (IV) triacetates has been extended to &#945;- cyano esters and malononitriles. Arylation did not occur with the parent compounds, ethyl cyanoacetate and malononitrile, but in both series monosubstituted compounds reacted to give &#945;-aryl derivatives in synthetically useful yields. A study of the effect of some tertiary aromatic amines and dimethyl  sulfoxide, substances which complex with lead(IV), has been carried out, and in two cases the influence of bulky &#945;- substituents has been examined.
