Abstract

Anti-Bacterial Agents Formamides Iodides Polyvinyl Chloride
( )- and ( )-isocyanoalkenes were selectively synthesized via the sequential cross coupling of vinyl iodides with formamide, followed by dehydration. The optimal catalyst, generated in situ from Cu I and -dimethyl-1,2-cyclohexanediamine, rapidly coupled ( )- or ( )-vinyl iodides with formamide, which minimized the isomerization of the resultant vinyl formamide. The method efficiently provided a range of acyclic, carbocyclic, and heterocyclic isocyanoalkenes; the versatility is illustrated with the selective, stereodivergent syntheses of the diastereomeric isocyanoalkene antibiotics, B371 and -B371.
