Abstract

In recent years, isocyanide compounds have been increasingly used in the field of organic synthetic chemistry, and more and more chemists are using isocyanide compounds to construct N-containing heterocyclic compound frameworks. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to showcase the recent research progress in the synthesis of N-containing heterocyclic compounds using o-alkenylaryl isocyanides.

Keywords
