The crystalline 2-thionaphthylmethyl isocyanide (1), prepared from the novel N-(formamidomethyl)-N-benzyl morpholinium iodide (2), via transfer of elements of CH2NHCHO, is totally devoid of pervasive odour.The cyclo-addition of the conjugate base of (1) to nitriles followed by desulfurization, under very mild conditions, provides an attractive route to imidazoles.
