Abstract

A copper-catalyzed [4+2] cyclization reaction of isoquinolines and alkynes is developed for the one-step construction of isoquinolinone derivatives with multisubstituted bridging rings. The unique feature of this three-component tandem cyclization reaction is the functionalization of the C1, N2, C3, and C4 positions of 3-haloisoquinolines via the construction of new C-N, C═O, and C-C bonds. This dearomatization strategy for the synthesis of structurally complex isoquinolinone-bridged cyclic compounds offers good chemoselectivity, broad functional group compatibility, greenness, and high step economy.
