Synthesis of fused isoquinolines via gold-catalyzed tandem alkyne amination/intramolecular O–H insertion†
Abstract
A novel gold-catalyzed tandem alkyne amination/intramolecular O–H insertion has been developed. A variety of [1,4]oxazino[3,2-c]isoquinolines are readily accessed under mild reaction conditions by utilizing this strategy, thereby providing an efficient and practical route for the construction of synthetically useful fused isoquinolines.
