Ethyl isocyanoacetate is an isocyanide ester that serves as a building block for the production of heterocycles.[1]
Application
Ethyl isocyanoacetate was used in the synthesis of 7-aza-tetrahydroindoles[2]. It was also used to prepare pyrroles[3][4], oxazolines[5], benzodiazepines[6], oxazoles[7] and imidazoles[8].

A novel and efficient route for the synthesis of 7-aza-tetrahydroindoles from N-aryl/alkyl-alkenoylacetamides and ethyl isocyanoacetate is described. A mechanism, involving a stepwise [3+2] cycloaddition-intramolecular aza-Michael addition cascade, is proposed that explains the origin of the double nucleophilic attack on the

The copper-catalyzed reaction between two different isocyanides produces the corresponding heteroaromatization products, imidazoles, in good yields. The reaction proceeds most probably through the activation of the sp3 C-H bond in the isocyanides by a copper catalyst, followed by a [3
