A series of new analogs of 2-arylpyrrolidinecarbonitriles were synthesized under phase-transfer catalysis conditions. New analogs of pyrrolidinecarboxamides were synthesized based on these carbonitriles. Biological evaluation showed that the synthesized derivatives of pyrrolidinecarbonitriles and pyrrolidinecarboxamides possessed moderate anticancer activity.
