Article Title: On the two-component microwave-mediated reaction of isonitriles with carboxylic acids: Regarding alleged formimidate carboxylate mixed anhydrides
Abstract: Microwave induced two-component coupling (2CC) reaction of carboxylic acids with isonitriles gives rise to various N-formylamides. The formimidate carboxylate mixed anhydride (FCMA) is proposed as the reactive intermediate, which undergoes 1,3-O→N acyl transfer to give the observed product. The formation and survival of the labile FCMA system has been evaluated. Copyright © 2008 American Chemical Society.
