Abstract

An unexpected coupling reaction between isocyanides and carboxylic acids which led to the synthesis of highly stable symmetrical and unsymmetrical alkylamidine and arylamidine carbocations under mild reaction conditions is described. The structures of these compounds were confirmed by IR, mass, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies and a plausible mechanism is proposed.
