Visible-light-mediated metal-free decarboxylative acylations of isocyanides with α-oxocarboxylic acids and water leading to α-ketoamides
A novel visible-light-induced and Rose Bengal catalyzed strategy has been developed for the synthesis of α-ketoamides via decarboxylative acylations of isocyanides with α-oxocarboxylic acids and water under mild conditions.
