[0244] Known methods for obtaining a formyl compound under moderate conditions include a method for obtaining a formyl compound by forming acetic acid/formic acid anhydride from acetic anhydride and formic acid and reacting it with an amine compound is known (Synthesis Method 2, see Org. Synth., 2013, 90, 358-366). The formyl compound obtained by this method may then be converted to an isocyanide compound by Synthesis Method 1.

[0245] Also known is a method for obtaining a formyl compound by treating formamide with sodium hydride into an anion and reacting it with a halogen compound (Synthesis Method 3, see Synthetic Communications, 1986, 16, 865-869). The formyl compound thus obtained may then be converted to an isocyanide compound by Synthesis Method 1.

[0246] On the other hand, as the method not involving formylation, a method of reacting an amine compound with dichlorocarbene to form an isocyanide compound is known (Synthesis Method 4, see Tetrahedron Letters, 1972, 17, 1637-1640).

[0247] When the desired isocyanide compound has a siloxane skeleton, it is preferably prepared by formylating an amino-containing siloxane compound under moderate conditions as in Synthesis Method 2, and converting to isocyanide by Synthesis Method 1 or converting to isocyanide by Synthesis Method 4.

[0248] The amine compound or halogen compound used herein may be a compound having the formula (4b).

[0250] Below, conditions for synthesis from the amine compound are outlined. [0251] (i) Formylation by Synthesis Method 1: Formylation is achieved by adding an excess of formic acid to an amine compound and dehydrating under reflux. [0252] (ii) Conversion from formyl compound to isocyanide compound by Synthesis Method 1: The target compound is obtained by dissolving a formyl compound and diisopropylamine in methylene chloride, cooling at 0? C., adding phosphoryl chloride dropwise, stirring for further 2 hours, adding sodium carbonate aqueous solution, allowing to stand at room temperature overnight, and post-treatment. If necessary, the compound is purified by distillation or sublimation. [0253] (iii) Formylation by Synthesis Method 2: Formic acid is added to acetic anhydride (2 equivalents of formic acid relative to acetic anhydride), yielding a formylating agent (acetic/formic anhydride). On the other hand, an amine compound is dissolved in THF, which is cooled at ?15? C. The formylating agent is added dropwise so that the internal temperature may not exceed ?5? C., and stirred for 2 hours. The target compound is obtained by post-treatment and then converted into isocyanide. [0254] (iv) Formation of isocyanide compound by Synthesis Method 4: The isocyanide compound is obtained by mixing an amine compound, chloroform, phase transfer catalyst (benzyltriethylammonium chloride), and methylene chloride, adding 50 wt % sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, stirring for 2 hour under reflux of methylene chloride, and post-treatment.

[0255] Also, in the case of synthesis from the halogen compound, formylation may be conducted by Synthesis Method 3 as follows. A formyl compound is obtained by dispersing sodium hydride (60% paraffin dispersion) in DMF, adding formamide thereto, stirring at 120? C. for 45 minutes, cooling at 60? C., adding the halogen compound, stirring at 120? C. for 24 hours, filtering the salt, and distilling off the solvent (DMF). Notably, the subsequent isocyanide conversion is the same as Synthesis Method 1.

[0256] Alternatively, a formyl compound is obtained by adding formamide and hexamethyldisilazane to the halogen compound, stirring at 80? C. for 1 hour, filtering off the precipitate, and removing the solvent. The subsequent isocyanide conversion is the same as Synthesis Method 1.

[0257] Furthermore, the hydrosilylation promoter used herein is a metal compound which becomes a catalyst precursor when added to the reaction system, or a compound which reacts with a complex resulting from complex formation between a metal compound and an isocyanide ligand, to produce a catalytic active species efficiently and strengthen the catalytic action of catalytic active species to enhance its activity.
