Isocyanatophosphoric acid dichloride: A novel reagent for the introduction of a cyano group into the molecules of electron-rich heterocycles and enamines

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-2002-35238

A new synthetic method is developed which enables a direct one-step introduction of a cyano group into electron-rich heterocyclic systems of the indole, pyrrole, and indolizine series, and also to enamines using isocyanatophosphoryl dichloride.
