A DBU-promoted cascade functionalization of a C(sp3)–H bond adjacent to oxygen and a radical cyclization reaction of vinyl isocyanides was developed to easily access multi-functionalized isoquinolines.
strategy for multi-substituted isoquinoline derivatives has been developed using visible light-promoted vinylisocyanideinsertion with diaryliodonium salts at room temperature. The methodology presented here represents the first example of isoquinoline synthesis via somophilicisocyanideinsertion.
hydroxyl-containing isoquinolines from a metal-free radical cyclization reaction of vinyl isonitriles with alcohols was developed with moderate-to-excellent yields. Vinyl isonitriles are coupled with alkyl radicals through direct catalytic functionalization of the α sp3 C–H bond of alcohols. The methodology demonstrates a broad substrate scope, shows excellent functional group tolerance, is highly atom-economical
