Addition of an excess of t-butyl isocyanide to solid Mo2 (0, CCF3 )4 or MO?_ (0, CMe)4 gives (t-BuNC), Mo(Oz CCF3 )* or (t-BuNC), Mo(Oz CMe), , respectively. The quadruple bond in K4 MO* Cl8 or Cl4 MO, (n-Bus P)4 also can be cleaved by an excess of t-butyl isocyanide to yield (t-BuNC), MoCl, _ The anionic ligands can be exchanged with ammonium hexafluorophosphate in presence of excess t-BuNC to...

The m-terphenyl isocyanides CNAr(Mes2) and CNAr(Dipp2) support five-coordinate, isocyanide/carbonyl monoanions of manganese. For CNAr(Dipp2), a bis-isocyanide anion is available that is remarkably well behaved upon reaction with electrophiles. Most notable is the formation of an unprecedented chloride-substituted metallostannylene.

A novel and efficient route for the preparation of quinazolin-4(3H)-imines via a palladium-catalyzed three-component reaction of carbodiimide, isocyanide, and nucleophile is described. The palladium-catalyzed isocyanide insertion is believed to be the key step during the reaction process.

The coupling of an acyl chloride with an isocyanide affords 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles under mild basic conditions instead of 4,5-disubstituted derivatives when using Schöllkopf conditions (butyllithium); this reaction constitutes a remarkable example of a base-induced chemoselective process in isocyanide chemistry.

The reaction between a transition metal carbonyl compound, L(n)MCO, and Li[Me(3)SiNR] yields the corresponding isocyanide derivative, L(n)MCNR, thereby providing a new route to transition metal isocyanide compounds that does not require the use of free isocyanides as reagents.

Z. Naturforsch. 41 a, 1302-1306 (1986); received August 7, 1986 The microwave ground state spectra of tert.-butyl isocyanide, (CH3)3CNC, and phenyl isocyanide, C6H 5NC, have been measured by microwave Fourier transform spectroscopy in the region 5.0 to 8.0 GHz and analysed for nuclear quadrupole hyperfine splitting due to ‘*N. The nuclear quadrupole coupling constants are shown to be in accorda...

The reactive intermediate generated by the addition of tert-butyl and 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl butyl isocyanide and cyclohexyl isocyanide to dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate was trapped by 3-hydroxy pyridine to produce highly functionalized 4H-chromenes in fairly good  yields

Treatment of Ni(NCS)2(PMe2Ph)2 with organic isocyanides CN-R gave five-coordinate isocyanide Ni(II) complexes, Ni(CN-R)(NCS)2(PMe2Ph)2 (R = C6H3-2,6-Me2 (1), t-Bu (2)). Interestingly, the corresponding reaction of Ni(NCS)2(P(n-Pr)3)2 with 2 equiv. of CN-t-Bu gave an unusual compound, which exists as an ion pair of the trigonal bipyramidal cation [Ni(P(n-Pr)3)2(CN-t-Bu)3]2+ (3) and the dinuclear...

A palladium-catalyzed three-component reaction of bis-(2-iodoaryl)carbodiimide, isocyanide, and amine gives rise to quinazolino[3,2-a]quinazolines and related compounds in good yields. Multi-bonds are formed in one pot through nucleophilic attack, isocyanide insertion, and C-N coupling during the reaction process.
