General description

Methyl isocyanoacetate undergoes direct aldol reaction with carbonyl compounds in the presence of solid-phase catechol-copper network catalyst to yield corresponding oxazolines. It also participates in four-component Ugi condensation reaction.

Application

Methyl isocyanoacetate has been used in the copper-catalyzed, diastereoselective synthesis of oxazolines.

The development of a highly active solid-phase catechol-copper network catalyst for direct aldol reaction is described. The catalyst was prepared from an alkyl-chain-linked bis(catechol) and a copper(II) complex. The direct aldol reaction between carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones) and methyl

The chemoenzymatic preparation of a nine-member Ugi condensation library is described. The carboxylic acid and amine precursors are based on 3-hydroxybutyrate and 4-amino-1-butanol, respectively, and have been acylated selectively using a variety of acyl donors catalyzed by porcine pancreatic lipase.
