A palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of azides with isocyanides is developed, providing a general synthetic route to unsymmetric carbodiimides.
A novel, simple and practical method for mild, efficient, cost-effective and regioselective synthesis of highly valuable 1,5-diaryl-1,2,3-triazoles was developed.
Aryl amides are efficiently synthesized from the rearrangement of triazolines, which formed in the base-catalyzed azide–aldehyde cycloaddtion.
