A FREE RADICAL CHAIN MECHANISM FOR THE ISONITRILE - NITRILE REARRANGEMENT IN SOLUTION AND ITS INHIBITION.
Meier, Michael,Ruechardt, Christoph
, p. 4671 - 4674 (1983)
A large fraction of the isonitrile-nitrile rearrangement of t-alkyl isonitriles in solution follows a free radical chain mechanism of the addition-elimination type.
The Synthetic Potential of the Isocyanide-Cyanide Rearrangement
Meier, Michael,Ruechardt, Christoph
, p. 1 - 4 (2007/10/02)
Excellent chemical and optical yields (>96percent retention) of cyanides are achieved by vapor phase thermolysis or short contact flow thermolysis of isocyanides. trans-2-Butenyl isocyanide rearranges without concomitant allylic isomerization to trans-2-butenyl cyanide.Optically active 1-(formyloxymethyl)-2-phenylethyl cyanide is obtained from optically active L-phenylalanine as a new type of chiral pool synthon.
