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

α-Keto amide derivatives as enterovirus 71 (EV71) 3C protease (3Cpro) inhibitors have been synthesized and assayed for their biochemical and antiviral activities. structure–activity relationship (SAR) study indicated that small moieties were primarily tolerated at P1' and the introduction of para-fluoro benzyl at P2 notably improved the potency of inhibitor. Inhibitors 8v, 8w and 8x exhibited satisfactory activity (IC50= 1.32 ± 0.26 μM, 1.88 ± 0.35 μM and 1.52 ± 0.31 μM, respectively) and favorable CC50values (CC50> 100 μM). α-Keto amide may represent a good choice as a warhead for EV71 3Cproinhibitor.

Lipase mediated desymmetrization of a meso-diol (1,2-cyclopentanedimethanol) allows the synthesis of both enantiomers of some chiral aldehydes, whose behavior in Passerini and Ugi reactions has been explored. Exploiting these two complementary multicomponent reactions and coupling them with a subsequent cyclization process, we observed that 6 out of all 8 possible stereoisomers of peptidomimetic pyrrolidines can be obtained in good yields. The potential of these protocols has been proved by the development of a new efficient synthesis of antiviral drug telaprevir.
