Abstract

The isoquinoline ring system is found in many alkaloids 1 and for this and other reasons the synthesis of isoquinoline derivatives has received considerable attention. Most of the classical methods 2 employ comparatively harsh conditions, and therefore have obvious limitations. A few milder approaches have also been reported. 3., and In recent years, a number of heterocyclic ring systems have been conveniently prepared 4., , , , , , and using palladium(0)-catalysed ...
