An Unexpected Silver Triflate Catalyzed Reaction of 2-Alkynylbenzaldehyde with 2-Isocyanoacetate
摘要:
An unexpected silver triflate catalyzed reaction of 2-alkynylbenzaldehyde with 2-isocyanoacetate provides an efficient route for the generation of isoquinolines. The reaction proceeds smoothly in air under mild conditions with high efficiency.

2-Azido-3-arylacrylates react with α-diazocarbonyl compounds and triphenylphosphine to furnish isoquinolines in 60−92% yields. The tandem process involves a Wolff rearrangement, an aza-Wittig reaction, and an electrocyclic ringclosure. The procedure is efficient, rapid, and general, and the substrates are readily available.
