Abstract

An efficient one-pot synthesis of isoquinolines and heterocycle-fused pyridines by a three-component reaction involves condensation of aryl ketones and hydroxylamine, rhodium(III)-catalyzed C-H bond activation of the in situ generated oxime, and cyclization with an internal alkyne. This protocol enables rapid assembly of multisubstituted isoquinolines as well as fused heterocycles.
