Abstract

Isocyanate derivatives are very reactive species, but the application of isocyanates is mostly limited to the synthesis of urethane or urea derivatives. 1 Only recently, transition metal-mediated cycloaddition of isocyanates with alkynes to form pyridones has attracted considerable attention. 2 On the other hand, imides are important industrial, biological and medicinal chemicals. 3,4 A common method for the preparation of imides is via condensation of ...
