Abstract

The synthesis of the isoindolinimines (5) by the insertion of isocyanides into the metal– carbon bond of the ortho-palladated primary benzylamine complex (1a) is described; the novel oxidative addition and susbsequent reductive elimination of the ortho-metallated primary benzylamine–platinum complex (6) yields 3-oxo-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (8).
