Abstract

Abstract The application of 2-(2, 2-dimethoxyethyl) phenyl isonitrile in Ugi, Passerini, and Ugi-Smiles reactions is described. The simple transformation to highly activated indolyl amides allows functional-group conversion of the isonitrile moiety into a variety of carboxylic acid derivatives, overall acting as a neutral, nucleophilic COOH equivalent.
