Silylacetate-promoted addition reaction of isocyanides to nitrones: effective synthesis of C(1)-carboxamide derivatives

Abstract

We report an efficient method for the synthesis of C(1)-carboxamide derivatives by adding isocyanides to 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline N-oxides and 3,4-dihydro-β-carboline 2-oxide in the presence of TMSOAc. 3,4-Dihydroisoquinoline-1-carboxylamide derivatives and 9-dihydro-3H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-1-carboxamide derivatives...
