First synthesis of allyl isonitriles from Baylis-Hillman adducts and their syn-thetic application for obtaining substituted imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine and dibenzoazulene systems

Abstract

First report of stereoselective synthesis of substituted allyl isonitriles from the primary allyl amines generated from the Baylis-Hillman adduct and its utilization in a robust IMCR to afford substituted imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine in the presence of NH4Cl is described
