| abstract |
A process for producing heterocyclic compounds which are useful as pesticides, drugs, functional materials or intermediates thereof. TosMIC is reacted with an aldehyde or an imino compound (1) in a solvent mixture of an aprotic solvent with a protic solvent in the presence of a base, (2) in the presence of a phase-transfer catalyst and an inorganic base, or (3) in the presence of an organic base. Thus, a desired product can be efficiently obtained using a solution without isolating TosMIC which is irritating and unstable, has a low decomposition point and shows explosivility. |
