Progress in Reactions of N-Isocyanoiminotriphenylphosphorane

Abstract

N-isocyanoiminotriphenylphosphorane has been widely applied in diverse organic synthesis due to the favorable structure of isocyano neighbouring iminophosphorane. In this manuscript, we have reviewed the reactions involving N-isocyanoiminotriphenylphosphorane including insertion reactions, cyclization reactions and multicomponent reactions in last twenty years, as well as the reaction mechanism has been illustrated clearly.
