Abstract
An efficient zinc(II)-catalyzed alkyne oxidation/C-H functionalization sequence was developed, thus leading to highly site-selective synthesis of a variety of isoquinolones and β-carbolines. Importantly, in contrast to the well-established gold-catalyzed intermolecular alkyne oxidation, over-oxidation can be completely suppressed in this system and the reaction most likely proceeds by a Friedel-Crafts-type pathway. Mechanistic studies and theoretical calculations are described.Entities:
