Isocyanides and Arylacetic Acids: Synthesis and Reactivity of 3-Aryl-2-acyloxyacrylamides, an Example of Serendipity-Oriented Synthesis
摘要:
Research progress is often promoted by unexpected results that open the way to new scenarios. In this communication, an unprecedented condensation of arylacetic acids and isocyanides and the unusual base-mediated rearrangement of the resulting products to give two novel classes of polysubstituted pyrrolones and pyrrolidinediones are reported.
