Abstract
We describe the novel electrochemical multicomponent reaction (e-MCR) of readily available isocyanides, thiols and carboxylic acids to form N-substituted S-thiocarbamate derivatives that are found in several biologically active compounds. The effectiveness of the μ-electro flow reactor (μ-EFR) was showcased through significant reduction in electrolyte volume during the reaction, achieving gram-scale production of 4a within a short 12 min residence time using a Pt/Pt flow cell.

Abstract
A visible-light-induced radical cyclization reaction of o-vinylaryl isocyanides and oxime esters to access various 2,4-disubstituted quinolines was disclosed. Oxime esters were employed as acyl radical precursors via the carbon-carbon bond cleavage. It provided an effective way for the synthesis of 2-acyl-4-arlysubstituted quinolines under mild conditions and exhibited good functional group tolerance and substrate applicability.

Abstract
Cyanation has attracted considerable attention in organic synthesis because nitriles are key structural motifs in numerous important dyes, agrochemicals, natural products and drug molecules. As the fourth generation of cyanating reagents, isocyanides occupy a prominent place in the synthesis of nitriles due to their favorable stability, easy operability and high reactivity. In recent years, three types of cyanation with isocyanides have been established: the cleavage of the C-NC bond of tertiary alkyl isocyanides (Type I), the rearrangement of aryl isocyanides with azides (Type II), and the reductive cyanation of ketones with α-acidic isocyanides (Type III). This review focuses on advances in cyanation with isocyanides with an emphasis on reaction scope, limitations and mechanisms, which could reveal their remarkable value and superiority for accessing various nitriles. In addition, the future development prospects of this specific field are also introduced. We believe that this feature article will serve as a comprehensive tool to navigate cyanation with isocyanides across the vast area of synthetic chemistry.

Abstract
We herein report an efficient photoredox radical cyclization reaction of o-vinylaryl isocyanides with acyl chlorides to access a wide range of 2,4-disubstituted quinolines. Preliminary mechanism experiment results suggested that this reaction was initiated by an acyl radical generated from acyl chlorides through a single-electron-transfer (SET) process. This transformation showed good substrate suitability and functional group compatibility at room temperature.

Abstract
This study describes an iron-catalyzed divergent oxidation of styrene into β-hydroxylmethylketone and ketone under photo-irradiation. This divergence is ascribed to the use of styrene with various substituents. More importantly, methanol is oxidized into formaldehyde in the reaction and serves as a C1 synthon. Mechanism investigations show that the reaction is initiated by oxidative SET to transfer styrene into the cation radical. The reaction pathway undergoes HAT and β-hydride elimination as well as a concerted cyclization. Particularly, several drug-like molecules, such as melperone analogue, lenperone analogue, and haloperidol analogue, are synthesized. In addition, this method is also applicable to the synthesis of natural product (R)-atomoxetine.

Abstract
Dithiocarbamates synthesis is extremely important in plenty of biomedical and agrochemical applications, especially fungicide development, but remains a great challenge. In this work, we have successfully developed a multicomponent reaction protocol to convert H2S into S-alkyl dithiocarbamates under constant current conditions. No additional oxidants nor additional catalysts are required, and due to mild conditions, the reactions display a broad substrate scope, including varieties of thiols or disulfides.

Abstract
An unprecedented route for the preparation of fused tetracyclic N-heterocycles is presented through the palladium-catalyzed cyclization of isocyanides with alkyne-tethered aryl iodides. In this transformation, a novel amino-to-alkyl 1,5-palladium migration/intramolecular C(sp3)-C(sp2) coupling sequence was observed first. More importantly, isocyanide exhibited three roles, serving simultaneously as a C1 synthon, a C1N1 synthon, and the donor of C(sp3) for C(sp3)-C(sp2) coupling, and the reaction was the sole successful example that achieved C(sp3)-H activation of isocyanide.
