α-Azido carbonyl compounds bearing a 2-alkenylaryl moiety at the α-position are
promising precursors for synthesis of isoindole and isoquinoline derivatives via
1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azides onto alkenes and 6π-electrocyclization of
N-H imine intermediates, respectively.

A one-pot conversion of isoindolines to 1-arylisoindoles was established from
palladium-catalyzed cascade C-H transformations. A dehydrogenation of
isoindolines followod by C-H arylation of the isoindoles gives the desired
1-arylisoindoles in good yields.
