Abstract
Herein, we describe the versatile application of triphenylmethyl (trityl) isocyanide in multicomponent chemistry. This reagent can be employed as a cyanide source in the Strecker reaction and as convertible isocyanide in the preparation of N-acyl amino acids by Ugi 4CR/detritylation and free imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-amines by a Groebke-Blackburn-Bienaymé 3CR condensation/deprotection protocol. The mechanisms of these three classical MCRs intersect at the common N-trityl nitrilium ion intermediate, whose predictable reactivity can be exploited towards chemoselective transformations.
Trityl isocyanide can be used as a versatile reagent in multicomponent chemistry, enabling chemoselective transformations by interacting with N-trityl nitrilium ion intermediates in Ugi and Strecker reactions.
