A convenient procedure for the formation of oxoacetamides derivatives is reported via the reaction of salicylaldehyde and alkyl isocyanide in a simple process without the use of any catalyst or metal promoters in DCM at room temperature. The structure of all obtained derivatives were determined by elemental and spectral analyses. In this reaction, 1,3-dioxine-4,4-dicarboxamide was obtained as minor product. This process offers considerable advantages such as the simplicity of reaction, regioselectivity, and the use of commercially available materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
