β¦ Synopsis
The reaction ofprima~ nitro compounds with isocyanides and isocyanates in the pmsen~ Β’f a base leads to a new preparation ff nitriles. The reaction probably proceeds through the in situ formation of a nitrile oxide followed by a fast oxygen transfer with the isocyanide. Combined with the Knovemgel addition of nitromethane to cyclic ketone, this reaction brings a highly effective regioselective formation of cyclic o~-~ unsaturated nitriles.
