Abstract
A facile synthesis of pharmaceutically interesting 1-aminoisoquinoline derivatives by gold(III)-mediated domino reactions starts from readily available 2-alkynylbenzamides and ammonium acetate and takes place under mild reaction conditions compatible with a variety of functional groups. A plausible mechanism for the domino process is proposed.
