- Anodic Oxidation of Aminotetrazoles: A Mild and Safe Route to Isocyanides
-
A new electrochemical method for the preparation of isocyanides from easily accessible aminotetrazole derivatives has been developed, which tolerates an unprecedented range of functional groups. The use of chemical, rather than electrochemical, oxidation to afford isocyanides was also demonstrated, which provides access to these compounds for those without electrosynthesis equipment. The practicality of scale-up using flow electrochemistry has been demonstrated, in addition to the possibility of using electrochemically generated isocyanides in further reactions.

- Isocyanide 2.0
-
The isocyanide functionality due to its dichotomy between carbenoid and triple bond characters, with a nucleophilic and electrophilic terminal carbon, exhibits unusual reactivity in organic chemistry exemplified for example in the Ugi reaction. Unfortunately, the over proportional use of only a few isocyanides hampers novel discoveries about the fascinating reactivity of this functional group. The synthesis of a broad range of isocyanides with multiple functional groups is lengthy, inefficient, and exposes the chemist to hazardous fumes. Here we present an innovative isocyanide synthesis overcoming these problems by avoiding the aqueous workup which we exemplify by parallel synthesis from a 0.2 mmol scale performed in 96-well microtiter plates up to a 0.5 mol multigram scale. The advantages of our methodology include an increased synthesis speed, very mild conditions giving access to hitherto unknown or highly reactive classes of isocyanides, rapid access to large numbers of functionalized isocyanides, increased yields, high purity, proven scalability over 5 orders of magnitude, increased safety and less reaction waste resulting in a highly reduced environmental footprint. For example, the hitherto believed to be unstable 2-isocyanopyrimidine, 2-acylphenylisocyanides and even o-isocyanobenzaldehyde could be accessed on a preparative scale and their chemistry was explored. Our new isocyanide synthesis will enable easy access to uncharted isocyanide space and will result in many discoveries about the unusual reactivity of this functional group. This journal is

- Application of Ugi three component reaction for the synthesis of quinapril hydrochloride
-
A novel, efficient and concise synthesis of chirally pure quinapril hydrochloride is described. The key step is the formation of α-amino amide backbone in one step using Ugi three component reaction. This method allows short access to α-amino amide chain which is a part of many drugs used for treatment of high blood pressure. A large molecular library can be synthesized by changing the components in Ugi reaction.

- Synthesis of isocyanides by reacting primary amines with difluorocarbene
-
A general, convenient, and friendly route for preparing a versatile building block of isocyanides from primary amines is developed. Difluorocarbene, generated in situ from decarboxylation of chlorodifluoroacetate, reacts efficiently with primary amines to produce isocyanides. Various primary amines are well tolerated, including aryl, heteroaryl, benzyl, and alkyl amines, as well as amine residues in amino acids and peptides. Late-stage functionalization of biologically active amines is demonstrated, showing its practical capacity in drug design and peptide modification.

- Efficient isocyanide-less isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions
-
Isocyanides are the Jekyll and Hyde of organic chemistry allowing for extremely interesting transformations that are not only extremely odorous but also noxious. Therefore, an isocyanide-less isocyanide-based multicomponent reaction (IMCR) has been developed, and this protocol is expected to replace many of the old procedures in the future not only in IMCR but in other areas of organic chemistry as well.

- Novel ultrasound-promoted parallel synthesis of trifluoroatrolactamide library via a one-pot passerini/hydrolysis reaction sequence and their fungicidal activities
-
An ultrasound-promoted one-pot Passerini/hydrolysis reaction sequence has been developed for the synthesis of trifluoroatrolactamide derivatives using a diverse range of trifluoroacetophenones and isonitriles in acetic acid. Parallel synthesis in a centrifuge tube using a noncontact ultrasonic cell crusher was used in this study as an efficient method for the rapid generation of combinatorial trifluoroatrolactamide libraries, and subsequent biochemical evaluation of the resulting compounds indicated that they possessed excellent broad-spectrum fungicidal activities. N-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(4-ethylphenyl)-3,3, 3-trifluoro-2-hydroxypropanamide and N-(4-chlorophenyl)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2- hydroxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)propanamide, in particular, showed significant fungicidal activities against all of the fungal species tested in the current study.

- Electrochemical synthesis of isocyanides and 1,n-diisocyanides
-
Some isocyanide structures have shown fungicide, antibiotic, insecticide, akarizide and other biological activities. Electrochemical reduction of substituted tosylmethylisocyanides (TosMICs) in acetonitrile/0,1 M tetraalkylammonium supporting-electrolyte at Hg-electrodes led to new alkyl-, aryl and 1,n-diisocyanides in good yields. The reaction proceeds in a two-electron C,S-cleavage, reducing exclusively the tosyl-function. The high selectivity of the corresponding ECE-mechanism is supported by quantum- chemical calculation.
