Abstract

Two distinctive transition-metal-promoted aerobic oxidation protocols have been developed for the synthesis of isoquinolones from 2-vinylbenzaldehydes and aniline derivatives. Thus, the one-pot tandem reaction sequence of imine formation, thermal 6π-electrocyclization, followed by either Cu(OAc)2-mediated or Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed aerobic oxidation protocol allowed the ready access to isoquinolone derivatives. The control experiments revealed that the 1,2-dihydroisoquinoline intermediates from the 6π-electrocyclization of 1-azatrienes were aerobically oxidized to isoquinolones in the presence of either Cu(OAc)2 or Pd(OAc)2 catalyst.
