The reactive intermediate generated by the addition of tert-butyl and 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl butyl isocyanide and cyclohexyl isocyanide to dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate was trapped by 3-hydroxy pyridine to produce highly functionalized 4H-chromenes in fairly good  yields

The stable phosphonate derivatives have easily synthesized by the reactions involving trialkyl(aryl) phosphites and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate in the presence of 4-nitrophenol and/or acid chlorides, dialkyl(aryl) phosphites and N-methylimidazole at 70 oC under solventfree conditions.

Abstract The one‐bond nucleophilic reactivities of seven cyclic α‐diazo carbonyl compounds in dichloromethane were determined by analyzing the kinetics their reactions with benzhydrylium ions (one‐bond reference electrophiles) at 20 °C according to Mayr‐Patz equation. Though not calibrated for pericyclic reactions, identified nucleophilicities also reflect relative 1,3‐dipolar cycloadditions di...

Three neutral Cu(I) complexes bearing 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide (CNXyl) and different triatomic pseudohalogens (SCN−, OCN− N3−) as ligands were efficiently synthesized characterized. The solid-state structures unambiguously determined through single-crystal X-ray diffraction, revealing unexpected bridging coordination modes in the case of N3−. All tested for azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAA...
