Van Leusen reaction
Overview
The Van Leusen reaction is the reaction of a ketone with TosMIC leading to the formation of a nitrile. It was first described in 1977 by Van Leusen and co-workers. When aldehydes are employed, the Van Leusen reaction is particularly useful to form oxazoles and imidazoles.
