An efficient isocyanide-based synthesis of S-thiocarbamates was discovered and thoroughly investigated. The new reaction protocol is a one-pot procedure and allows the direct conversion of N-formamides into thiocarbamates by initial dehydration with p-toluene sulfonyl chloride to the respective isocyanide and subsequent addition of a sulfoxide component. Contrary to recent literature, which also uses isocyanides as starting material, but with other sulfur reagents than sulfoxides, in this protocol, no isolation and purification of the isocyanide component is necessary, thus significantly decreasing the environmental impact and increasing the efficiency of the synthesis. The new protocol was applied to synthesize a library of sixteen thiocarbamates, applying four N-formamides and four commercially available sulfoxides. Furthermore, experiments were conducted to investigate the reaction mechanism. Finally, four norbornene-based thiocarbamate monomers were prepared and applied in controlled ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) reactions. The polymers were characterized by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and their properties were investigated utilizing differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).

A multicomponent diversity-oriented synthesis of new highly emissive tetracyclic isoquinolines that target specific organelles is described. The title compounds were prepared via a three-step protocol starting with an Ugi four-component reaction, followed by either an intramolecular alkyne hydroarylation and subsequent alkene isomerization or through a Pomeranz-Fritsch-type cyclization with a final intramolecular Heck reaction. Subcellular localization studies of these compounds using green channel confocal microscopy revealed remarkable and distinctive distribution patterns in live cells, showing an unprecedented high selectivity and imaging contrast. The differentiated organelle visualization - including localizers for mitochondria, lysosomes, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, and plasma membrane - was achieved by varying the nature of the tetracyclic system and substituent pattern, changing the original four-component set in the starting Ugi reaction.

A pseudo-five-multicomponent reaction involving an isocyanide, a primary amine, two molecules of formaldehyde and water is reported, which gives N,N′-substituted 4-imidazolidinones when trifluoroethanol is used as the solvent. The reaction proceeds with good yields and with a wide variety of amines and isocyanides, providing an efficient new entry to these heterocycles. A preliminary study of the reaction mechanism suggests that trifluoroethanol, although acting as the solvent, is directly involved as a reagent in the reaction pathway.
