Org Lett. 2022 Apr 22;24(15):2863-2867. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.2c00824. Epub 2022 Apr 14.

Abstract

A multicomponent reaction of isocyanides, ditellurides and manganese(III) carboxylates under mild reaction conditions leads to the synthesis of various N-acyl tellurocarbamates. This method demonstrates good functional tolerance and broad substrate scope and, as a result, is especially suitable for the postfunctionalization of complicated molecules such as drugs. The given method can be further extended to the synthesis of selenocarbamates.
