New reactions using old functionality, isocyanides, are described. By using isocyanides in place of carbon monoxide, transformations otherwise difficult to achieve, such as GaCl3-catalyzed [4 + 1] cycloaddition and TfOH-catalyzed insertion into a C–O bond of acetals, are realized. In addition, isocyanides are exploited as a key component in transition-metal-catalyzed C–H bond activation and borylation reactions.
