The term functionalized isocyanides refers to all those isocyanides in which a neighbouring
functional group can finely tune the reactivity of the isocyano group or can be exploited in …

Isocyanide (isonitrile) chemistry began in 1859 when Lieke obtained the first compound of
this type. 1 In 1958, isocyanides became generally available by dehydration of formamides …

During recent years, the direct transformation of aldehydes into esters or amides has
developed into a vigorous research area and powerful one‐pot oxidative esterification and …

The history of isocyanide chemistry goes back to the first synthesis of allyl isocyanide by
alkylation of silver cyanide reported by Lieke in 1859. 1 These isomers of cyanides …

An Ugi-type reaction of tetrahydroisoquinoline with an isocyanide and a carboxylic acid in
the presence of iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) afforded the 1, 2-diacylated adduct in good to …

The gold/silver-cocatalyzed conversion of aldoximes into primary amides is reported. The
reaction, which proceeds under neat and acid-free conditions, allows for the conversion of a …

The chemistry of methyl α-isocyanoacetate (1) was investigated thoroughly in the 1970s,
mainly by the research groups of Schöllkopf and Matsumoto.[1, 4] One particularly powerful …

Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are one-pot processes that combine three or more
substrates simultaneously.[1] Such processes are of great interest in diversity-oriented …

The reaction of allyl ethyl carbonates with isocyanides in the presence of a catalytic amount
of Pd (OAc) 2 provided ketenimines through β‐hydride elimination of the allyl …

Something functional: The title reaction proceeds in the presence of azide and water to
deliver amides in high yields, and it can be used in a ring-expansion strategy to generate …
