Multicomponent Reaction of Isocyanide, Ditelluride, and Mn(III) Carboxylate: Synthesis of -Acyl Tellurocarbamate.

A multicomponent reaction of isocyanides, ditellurides and manganese(III) carboxylates under mild reaction conditions leads to the synthesis of various -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.
