Significance

A three-component synthesis of nicotinamide and isonicotinamide from nicotinic/isonicotinic acid, acetylene, and isocyanides under mild conditions is reported. The reaction is proposed to proceed via an imidoyl carboxylate A, which, upon a Dimroth-type rearrangement and a [4+1] cyclization of B with isocyanides, leads to the desired products. The tolerance of functional groups and the scope of the reaction were not sufficiently explored.
