1-Naphthyl isocyanide was polymerized with Ni(II) catalyst in a cholesteric matrix at the liquid crystal (LC) temperature range. The resultant polymers showed optical activity. In this reaction, the structural chirality of cholesteric LC effectively functions to impart one-handed helicity on the corresponding polymers as an optically active atropisomer.

Reported herein is a palladium-catalyzed secondary benzylic imidoylative Negishi reaction leveraging the sterically bulky aromatic isocyanides as the imine source. This method allows the facile access of alkyl-, (hetero)aryl-, and alkynylzinc reagents to afford various α-substituted phenylacetone products under mild acidic hydrolysis, which are ubiquitous motifs in many pharmaceuticals and biologically active compounds. The diastereoselective reduction of imine can be accomplished to provide the expedient conversion of secondary benzylic halide into α-substituted phenethylamine derivatives with high atom economy.
Visible-light-induced radical cascade cyclization of oxime esters and aryl isonitriles: Synthesis of cyclopenta[: B] quinoxalines

A visible-light-induced radical cascade cyclization of aryl isonitriles and cyclobutanone oxime esters for the synthesis of cyclopenta[b]quinoxalines has been accomplished for the first time. The key to the success of this process was the integration of the in situ-formed nitrile radical followed by the cascade radical isonitrile/nitrile insertion-cyclization. The easy introduction of substituents for both substrates and the high functional group tolerance of the reaction make it an efficient strategy to give various quinoxaline derivatives in moderate to good yields.
