Abstract
Abstract A novel, one-pot reaction for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives is developed via a base-mediated three-component reaction of ninhydrin, aniline and acetylenic esters. This diastereoselective reaction takes place in methanol at 70 °C under transition-metal-free conditions, and direct construction of the C–N and C–C bonds is readily achieved via tandem cyclization. These cyclic frameworks are resourceful small molecular keys to many natural products.
Base-catalyzed tandem cyclization allows for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives in methanol under transition-metal-free conditions, offering potential for natural product discovery.
