Abstract

An Rh(III)-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of 5H-isochromeno[3,4-c]isoquinolines from readily available 4-diazoisochroman-3-imines and (2-formylphenyl)boronic acids is reported. The cascade annulation involves a Rh(III)-catalyzed cross-coupling and an intramolecular nucleophilic addition-elimination process. A series of biologically important 5H-isochromeno[3,4-c]isoquinolines were obtained in good to excellent yields. The method can be extended to synthesize 7H-isochromeno[3,4-b]thieno[3,2-d]pyridines and 7H-isochromeno[3,4-b]thieno[2,3-d]pyridines from the corresponding heteroaryl boronic acids.
