C–H Activation Guided by Aromatic N–H Ketimines: Synthesis of Functionalized Isoquinolines Using Benzyl Azides and Alkynes
摘要:
Aromatic N-H ketimines were in situ generated from various benzylic azides by ruthenium catalysis for the subsequent Rh-catalyzed annulation reaction with alkynes to give the corresponding isoquinolines. In contrast to conventional synthetic methods for aromatic NH ketimines, our protocol works under mild and neutral conditions, which enabled the synthesis of isoquinolines having various functionalities such as carbonyl, ester, alkenyl, and ether groups. In addition, the imidates generated from alpha-azido ethers were successfully used for the synthesis of 1-alkoxyisoquinolines.

isoquinolines from aryl ketone O-acyloxime derivatives and internal alkynes has been developed using [Cp*RhCl2]2−NaOAc as the potential catalyst system. The present transformation is carried out by a redox-neutral sequence of C−H vinylation via ortho-rhodation and C−N bond formation of the putative vinyl rhodium intermediate on the oxime nitrogen, where the N−O bond of oxime derivatives could work as an internal
