Tosylmethyl isocyanide, also known as TosMIC, is a reagent used extensively in organic chemistry for the introduction of nitrile groups into molecules. It is particularly important in heterocyclic synthesis and diastereoselective reactions. TosMIC is widely employed in reactions such as the Van Leusen reaction, which forms nitriles from ketones, and for the synthesis of various biologically active compounds.

TosMIC reacts with ketones to form nitriles, allowing the introduction of a one-carbon unit into a molecular structure. It is particularly useful in organic synthesis.
TosMIC is employed in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, such as pyrroles and imidazoles, which are often used as biologically active molecules in pharmaceuticals.
Used in diastereoselective reactions with sugar-derived aldehydes, TosMIC aids in the synthesis of diastereomerically pure products.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from moisture and heat sources. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use.
