New strategies for novel isocyanide multicomponent reactions: innovative ways to access to medicinally important compounds
Sequential multicomponent synthesis of α-ketoimides, from acyl chlorides, isocyanides, and silver salts of carboxylic acids
The Nef Reaction of Isocyanides
International audienceThe interaction of isocyanides with acyl chlorides was first reported by Nef in 1892. The resulting α-keto imidoyl chlorides may be hydrolyzed to form α-keto amides. Relatively few data are available on this reaction and the chemistry of α-keto imidoyl chlorides has been largely underestimated until some recent uses in intraÂ- and intermolecular couplings with a variety of nucleophiles. The present review brings a comprehensive presentation of the Nef reaction of isocyanides focusing on mechanism and regioselectivity issues
