Intermolecular [2 + 2 + 1] ruthenium-catalyzed cocyclization of isocyanates,
alkynes, and CO proceeded smoothly in mesitylene at 130°C to give a variety of
polysubstituted maleimides in excellent yields with high selectivity.

Unsymmetrical 3,4-disubstituted maleimides have been synthesized by
palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of indium organometallics with
3,4-dihalomaleimides.Various alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, and alkynyl 3,4-disubstituted maleimides
have been prepared in good yields
and with high selectivity.
