Abstract

An addition-cyclization of α-chiral imines with substituted aromatic Grignard reagents in the presence of 2,2'-bipyridine provides isoquinolone products with excellent yields and outstanding diastereoselectivities. Moreover, N-methylmorpholine (NMM) was found to be an effective additive for the formation of 3-substituted isoindolin-1-ones using a one-pot addition-cyclization-deprotection sequence.
