A general and facile approach for the direct α‐functionalization of ketones mediated by iodine is developed. The operational simplicity, easily available starting materials, mild reaction conditions and tolerance of wide range of functional groups are the major benefits of the reaction.
A new approach for the synthesis of carbamates from alcohols and TosMIC promoted by iodine/DMSO system is reported. This method offers a one-step, direct and practical strategy for the rapid construction of carbamates under mild conditions. The reaction proceeds via sequential oxidation of isocyanide to isocyanate and nucleophilic addition of alcohols to isocyanate to afford the carbamates in high yields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
