77. 2 in toluene under oxygen atmosphere led to the complete decomposition of the former after 20 h. Therefore, to guarantee the success of the present domino oxidation/P-3CR, the oxidation of alcohol to aldehyde and its subsequent P-3CR had to be faster than these competitive reactions. We found that polymerization of isocyanide was the main side reaction. However, in initial condition surveys, oxidation of isocyanide to isocyanate was also observed.
