Abstract
An unprecedented trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf)-promoted selective double insertion of isocyanides into aldehydes was developed, providing an efficient protocol for synthetically challenging β-carbonyl α-iminoamides. The given approach is applicable for a diverse selection of readily accessible aldehydes, along with isocyanides serving as essential precursors for "amide" and "imine" scaffolds. The versatile transformations of the given products were demonstrated, and the pivotal intermediates for the plausible mechanism were identified.

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
SiCl4 promotes isocyanide additions to oxoalkenenitriles to selectively generate 3-acylpyrroles, 2-aminofurans, or pyrrolidinones. Cyclic oxoalkenenitriles add 2 equiv of an isocyanide that installs the two core atoms of an acylpyrrole and a nitrile substituent, whereas acyclic oxoalkenenitriles add 1 equiv of an isocyanide to afford 2-aminofurans; subsequent air oxidation generates pyrrolidinones via a furan oxygenation-cleavage-cyclization sequence. The syntheses proceed under mild conditions to rapidly access three richly decorated heterocycles.

An efficient TMSOTf-promoted selective triple consecutive insertions of tert-butyl isocyanide into aldehydes has been developed, affording pharmacological interesting 4-cyanooxazoles in high yields in a one pot manner. The given method encompasses a wide range of substrates with tert-butyl isocyanide serving as sources of critical "CN" and "C-N═C" moieties. The versatile transformations of the resulting 4-cyanooxazoles were demonstrated. The key reaction intermediates for plausible mechanisms were determined.

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.

Abstract
An Fe/S catalyst generated in situ from FeCl2·4H2O and elemental sulfur S8 in the presence of a tertiary amine as a base was found to catalyze efficiently a 6e- redox condensation of o-nitrophenols with acetophenones and methylquinolines. The condensed products 2-benzoylbenzoxazoles and 2-quinolylbenzoxazoles were obtained in reasonable yields with water as the only byproduct at a temperature as low as 80 °C.
