Silver‐Catalyzed and Silver‐Promoted Reactions of Isocyanides

Abstract

Abstract In recent years, the silver‐catalyzed and silver‐promoted isocyanide reactions have attracted much attention, due to its efficiency in the formation of diverse new bonds and good reaction selectivity. A series of highly useful linear or cyclic compounds have been constructed. In this review, the recent progress in this field is described in the sequence of synthesis of five‐membered heterocyclic compounds, synthesis of six‐membered heterocyclic compounds, synthesis of fused cyclic compounds as well as synthesis of linear nitrogen‐containing compounds.
