What is METHYL ISOCYANOACETATE?
Chemical properties
CLEAR YELLOW TO BROWN LIQUID
The Uses of METHYL ISOCYANOACETATE
Methyl isocyanoacetate is used in the copper-catalyzed, diastereoselective synthesis of oxazolines. It is involved in the direct aldol reaction with carbonyl compounds to prepare corresponding oxazoline by using catechol-copper network catalyst. Further, it is also involved in four-component Ugi condensation reaction. It undergoes asymmetric aldol reaction with fluorinated benzaldehyde using gold(I) as a catalyst.

General Description
Methyl isocyanoacetate undergoes direct aldol reaction with carbonyl compounds in the presence of solid-phase catechol-copper network catalyst to yield corresponding oxazolines. It also participates in four-component Ugi condensation reaction.
