title: Microwave-assisted synthesis of isonitriles: a general simple methodology.
abstract: [reaction: see text] A facile conversion of formamides to isonitriles under very mild conditions and microwave irradiation is described. This simple and efficient method has been applied for the synthesis of both aliphatic and aromatic isonitriles in high yields.
