General description

Isopropyl isocyanide is an alkyl isocyanide.

Application

Isopropyl isocyanide may be used in the preparation of:
  • Ugi ligand A2C11I1, which is employed in the solid-phase Ugi synthesis.[1]
  • Pentafluorophenyl (PFP) functional monomers, via Passerini reaction.[2]
  • Dinuclear copper complex [Cu2(μ-PiPr2bipy)2{μ-CNCH(CH3)2}](PF6)2 [PiPr2bipy = 6-(diisopropylphosphanyl)-2,2′-bipyridine].[3]
  • (3E)-(Imino)thiaisoindoline 1,1-dioxide derivative.[4]
  • N,N′-diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) analog via reaction with propan-2-amine.[5]
  • 1-t-butyl-2-isopropyldiaziridinone via reaction with 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane[6]
  • isopropyl isocyanate via reaction with ozone[7]
  • 1-phthalimidoazetidines via [1+3]cycloaddition reaction with 1-pththalimidoaziridines[8]
