Toluenesulfonylmethyl IsocyanidE (TOSMIC)

Used as an intermediate for various reasons, including in the Van Leusen reaction which is used to convert aldehydes to nitriles or in the preparation of oxazoles and imidazoles.

Three of TosMIC’s mission-critical industrial applications are:

1. To convert carbonyl groups to nitriles as a cyanating reagent
2. To synthesize heterocyclic compounds such as oxazoles, imidazoles and pyrroles
3. To prepare Knoevenagel-type condensation products
