Description

General description

p-Toluenesulfonylmethyl isocyanide undergoes base-promoted 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction with immobilized imines under microwave irradiation to yield 1,5-disubstituted imidazoles. It is a versatile synthon in organic chemistry, extensively used for the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds.

Application

p-Toluenesulfonylmethyl isocyanide was used:

• in the synthesis of triplet drugs with the 1,3,5-trioxazatriquinane skeleton
• as reagent in the preparation of biologically active pyrroles and imidazoles
• as the isonitrile component in a diastereoselective Passerini reaction employing sugar-derived aldehydes
